On the topic of Matrix, does anyone know what causes messages to sometimes decrypt the last message until a new last message is sent (and fails to decrypt), or a single message to fail to decrypt while surrounding ones work successfully?

That it generates that much cruft for something so simple is disappointing. How long does the compression bandaid work for?
From the first link: >I shrunk my homeserver database from 100GB to a little under 8GB, during a long maintenance cleanup. I run the compressor on a cron job. I've been running for 5 years with ~ a dozen people on my server, all federated, in multiple large rooms, didn't run into space issues until this year. On Linode $10 and then Hetzner 4 CPU. One thing to watch out for: disable registration. Otherwise spambots wi…
I feel registration is something which should come disabled by default and need to be explicitly enabled.

#84I might have missed something, but the page is very simplistic and assumes you know what Matrix is and how to use this; a lot of time is spent on the installation through different means, but none how to use the server itself, either by use of a client?
> ...assumes you know what Matrix is ...
Matrix is a chat protocol. It works like chatting over GIT (distributed databases) and is more like a team messenger like Mattermost or Zulip. Conduit is a server software and not for end users.

Do you use Conduit daily yourself? I'm wondering if it's stable for daily use.

> what do you like about XMPP? - plenty of fast native clients - server resource usage - simplicity of the protocol, especially the encryption
> plenty of fast native clients And God help you making all of them talk to each other properly...
I have used conversations (and derivatives), gajim, dino, converse.js, and movim to have omemo encrypted xmpp conversations; and I talk to people on Siskin and have used profanity in the past. Seems to work properly, unless I'm missing something.

#87When I tried Matrix I found a lot of super right wing tech people using it. The main reason I could ascertain most of them were using Matrix was because they had been banned by other chat platforms for their opinions
That says more about those “other chat platforms” than anything else.

My first thought was: „my question would be the reverse“. I have no idea why I’d use XMPP, so I will tell you what I like about Matrix. - modern chat solution with features people have come to expect from Slack and Discord - many bridges that have kept me from having to use more than one chat client for multiple protocols (think pidgin) - lots of great communities are on matrix - pretty good voice chat - open source…
What is a good way to discover great communities on Matrix?

XMPP is well-defined open source selfhosted easily extendable federated standard for exchanging data containers (messages) in a sequential manner. I have zero experience with Matrix, but have experience developing Jabber clients (both mobile and desktop), developing XMPP server, services and VoIP gateways back in mid 2000th. I can say that XMPP with it's all-covering XEPs can satisfy needs of anyone today. Why would…
Matrix has well maintained clients and the overall experience is smooth especially for non technical people.
Source: I use XMPP and Matrix daily.

Yes, I use my Conduit instance for all my development work and also host a big Discord bridge on it (for https://veloren.net, which was mentioned in another comment).
