   Oh, this is so f***ing gold. This post is a juice concentrate of the many reasons why Matrix sucks:

   Among others:

   Users cannot be deleted
   This is simply not an option in the API. Server admin can perform a "deactivate" (disable login) and "erase" (remove related data, which claims to be GDPR-compliant) on user accounts, but the accounts themselves stay on the server forever.

   LOL.

   Here is my take on why you should trash Matrix and use XMPP, or ta least Signal instead:
