   if i had to deal with all this i'd probably just redo PSYC on top of cbor instead of their text packet encoding.
   
   although at that point it starts to look like xmpp without as much parsing :neocat_woozy:

     > Update: it's much worse than I imagined. Abuse is really easy on Matrix, with simple attacks like flood-joining permanently crippling rooms. According to Why Not Matrix this is a problem that's been known for years, a fundamental design flaw that's barely acknowledged, but usually swept under the rug by Matrix people.

     @Linux_in_a_Bit there is a whole long article about it :comfywoozy: https://anarc.at/blog/2022-06-17-matrix-notes/ but mostly to do with the way the rooms are built as some bespoke graph algorithm

     But it must at least be manageable, right?
     If it wasn't, half of the rooms I'm in would be dead...

     Why is it worse than other messaging apps?

     @Linux_in_a_Bit it always comes back to that graph resolution algorithm.
     
     psyc got it right. just let the room be smart, use multiple servers and route payloads where you need to go.
