   please use matrix we have:
   
   - a client made by an enterprise who will willingly backdoor your messages
   - a client made by 3 people that get random breaking changes that completely obliterate flow
   - a client that is one giant html5 canvas that uses 100% of your browser gpu power
   - a client that requires systemd
   - way too many abandoned android and ios clients
   
   please use fedi we have:
   
   - an instance software which is so popular but so feature deprived it makes no sense why it exists, also it's trademarked in a bad way
   - an instance software that has so much code rot it spawned 500 forks to try and fix it only to become rotten themselves
   - an instance software that doesn't really know what it's doing and instead implemented 3 different api standards, and this is the fork i'm talking about. no one should talk about the upstream project.
   
   this really is the FOSS curse, huh?

     @kkarhan @Natanox @ada Some caveats at the fuel part that some policies are *very much* being used to tilt things their way (isn't regulatory capture & mass infrastructure destruction follow by motivated car-dependent development great⸮).

     The rest about healthy ecosystem & open standards is right though.

     @Natanox @ada I mean it's the #InconvenientTruth.

     Do you know why #Fax, #SMS, #eMail, #IRC & #XMPP still exist whilst #AIM, #ICQ & #Skype are basically dead?

     It's because they are #openStandards that are #decentralized and have a working #MultiVendor / #MultiProvider #ecosystem around them.

     Same reason why people still buy gasoline and diesel vehicles: Shit just works and scales...

     @kkarhan @ada It's funny how every time I see any toot about chat software or encryption of messages I can be sure you already posted your almost missionary XMPP+OMEMO reply to it. :breadpeek:

     @ada depends...

     Why I should use #Matrix when #Zulip, #IRC and #XMPP+#OMEMO and #DeltaChat (#eMail + #PGP/MIME) exist is beyond me.

     Whereas :activitypub: and it's implementations do make sense considering how :birdsite: :twitter: went :deadbird: ...

     @ada Good matrix clients exist. Not for fones though lol.
     Just stop using the mainstream shit, problem solves itself.
     
     Same for fedi servers AND CLIENTS, except in that case it's the desktop space that's in a bad state; there's only one decent desktop client and it's fucking electron. If you only have one account you have a bunch more options but I'm not sure why you'd do that to yourself.

     @sarvo @ada To have the ability to add new object types/features without requiring DB migrations for them.

     @ada@mk.wytch.space pleroma still feels like the best however I have no clue why they are using their db schema as a json filer.

     @mint@ryona.agency @ada@mk.wytch.space at some point one has to ask themselves is it better to fill your db with bloat or run migrations every once in a while.
     
     I guess it does keep it kinda backwards compatible if you want to switch to a fork or to a older version.

     @ada the 2nd is more unfortunately true with pleroma in certain scenarios
