    I personally have no issue with having to log-in to use the hosted Jitsi and have it store that I created a room. That's a small price to pay for the longevity of the service. If l…

    I find it hard to believe that not showing video previews from links is a breaking issue for a lot of users. But I get your point that Matrix is kind of complex in some ways. Feder…

    It is quite normal that things break on the Windows Insider Preview builds from time to time right? I'm pro Free Software, and therefore anti-Microsoft, but isn't it possible that,…

    I agree that Matrix is quite complicated. However, adding new features doesn't have to make it that more complicated. I get the impression that it's not that bad as most new featur…
