I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

Why do you feel like matrix has failed? I joined it recently and to me it looks like it’s kinda growing.

Well.. I said 'kinda failed'. Synapse is still way too slow. And the new dendrite server is still not up to spec. Joining large rooms is still gives me a headache. I can't easily protect DDoS or spam accounts. I was forced to basically close registrations my Matrix server. And Dendrite is not yet production ready which is a shame.. Don't get me wrong, I do like Matrix in general. I just hope my previous remarks are taken seriously by their devs.

Idk, that’s more of a “not yet finished” thing rather than “failed” imo

yea.. you are right. It "sort of failed" at some point, because I'm waiting for Matrix to solve these issues for more then 6 years now.. basically since the start..
