I want to like Matrix / Element, but Element might be the worst piece of software I've ever used.

Nearly every day, it either hangs indefinitely or forgets my login info, or some other bug (with most being showstoppers).

The UI is confusing and I have a thousand rooms that I can't get rid of that clutter everything (as I've attended conferences from the past few years in it).

When it works, it's nice and all... but it rarely ever works.

I really *want to* like it. 😕

@johnmark It's not available anywhere here except on Apple TV, and we don't have a Mac or some Apple TV device, and we already have 4 different streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, Joyn), so... ?

I imagine it's the same for a lot of other people?

@mattl Pixel 6 Pro.

I wanted a good, stock phone and didn't want Samsung bloatware...

I figured Samsung phones and other Android phones all have their own bloatware and "call home". Google's phones do too, but all other Android phones ALSO come with Google's bloatware and "call home" to Google too, so might as well reduce that a little.

Alternative would've been an iPhone, but I want to run Firefox, which is impossible on an iPhone, as it just has one browser engine (WebKit for everything).
