   i want a matrix "client" that just lets me connect, like, AIM, to it
   
   i dont want a matrix "bridge" that tries to synchronize the AIM world and the matrix world, in order to let me use AIM to speak to both AIM or matrix users (or the other way around).
   
   i want to connect my 20 year old AIM client to my matrix server and use it as a matrix client

     hey! hey you! wanna run a native matrix client on a brand new POWER9 workstation? (or at least a client that pretends to be native even though it's a web browser?)
     
     well, tough luck. all you get is iamb. nheko might work if you let it sit for about a week after you log in, but good luck with that
     
     and if you think you can get away with using a browser client, i hope you like google chrome!

     my use case is not "connect matrix, irc, and AIM users all in the same room"
     
     my use case is i want to send my wife a screenshot of a weird thing i found on my windows nt 4.0 computer, and we both use matrix, when it's not possible to use a matrix client on a computer that is more than 15 years old (or which is newer than that but slower than a 15 year old pc)

     it's really funny that i've been able to run a usable matrix server (conduit) on a literal 486, but i can't run a usable matrix client on like. basically anything but my phone and the two non-POWER desktop computers i have with a manufacturing date greater than 2010 (and my 2008 laptop if i am desperate)
