Does it have export? Signal's complete inability to any kind of history backup is a dealbreaker for me.
Element has. The app on the other side I think it's unlikely that this chatbox has export functionality
Which is currently broken and has been for some time. If you export a room, images will not show in the final exported chat.

The client would have to fetch all your messages first. Some rooms can have thousands of messages a day, and some people are in thousands of rooms [1] (though these are core developers so they might be stress testing) [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32021303
but you would hopefully not export all messages every time? incremental?

Not the person you're replying to but following up on an identical past thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30996203 > Linux, x86_64. Getting the same behavior across distros and installations. It is still very much the case. To emphasize, we have for the past couple of years used Matrix routinely on: * Multiple client implementations * Multiple OSs (Linux/Android/iOS) * Multiple accounts and profiles * Mult…

A sibling comment [1] says it works fine on Mac and Windows, and it's all the same desktop app. It's likely a Linux quirk that hasn't gotten enough attention yet [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32021303

I'm not sure the problem was the client (element for Android). Asking around it seems people on the chatrooms kind of agreed the issue was matrix.org Regardless, if you believe the issue is the client, which would you recommend is the lightest/fastest client?
The problem of slow joins isn't the client, it's the protocol. Just join the Synapse admins channel on matrix.org (will take half an hour to load, your client will time out and give you an error but it will load eventually) and the other admins will tell you they're all aware of the problem. I don't know why Arathorn is further down the thread dismissing this problem.. it's a well-known problem in the community.. htt…
Ok, so matrix is useless then, is that it?

Thank you for this, I was beginning to think I'm the crazy one. Ok, so matrix is useless then, is that it?

this is like saying “i tried the web, and it’s extremely slow”. what server were you using? and which client on which platform?
> this is like saying “i tried the web, and it’s extremely slow” Uuuuuh ok...? WhatsApp isn't slow.

How so?
Because they are in the "extend" phase.
