Remember this is a centralized service, and all centralized services are doomed to fail for short periods or forever.

If you believe control of the world's communications should be open and distributed, I suggest supporting Matrix instead.

Are you guys still experiencing trouble? I have had zero issues since this morning (central European time). There might be some delays that are longer than usual, but never longer than say 4-5 seconds.

Anyone have good experience with their desktop client? I downloaded it and linked it, but it is refusing to import my contact list. Seems very janky overall (crashed twice in 10 mins).

Yes, I'm still getting messages that don't decrypt properly sometimes.

I use it without any trouble on Linux and Windows.

I use it without trouble on mac, windows, and linux. If you are having trouble today or yesterday it might be related to the outage.
