   Matrix once again is not able to actually do the one thing it ought to do as an instant messenger, quickly and reliably transmit messages.

   I know that this is a matrix.org failure this time and I really should move off that server, but on the other hand my motivation for self hosting that pile of misery is not increasing with each of these incidents. Doesn't help that the migration story is still pretty much non existent

     @samueldr This traces back to my main and most fundamental issue with Matrix design: IMO they federated the wrong thing.
     Rooms should not be federated, but identities should be.

     @piegames like I hinted at in a thread of mine, the issue here is that it's federation between silos. This is not useful for the end-users. There is no way to "be yourself", your identity is still tighly coupled to a silo.
     
     I personally think that it shouldn't count as federated when the identities are this tightly coupled to the silo'd operating machinery :/
