Here's Matrix CEOs answer to this article: https://lobste.rs/c/jekh0n -- according to him the article is absurd amounts of FUD

How complicated is a federated messenger? Because it feels like matrix is the only one but there's always an issue

I like the concept of delta.chat the most. Anyone here use it? Any reason why it hasn't caught on?

Could it support technical FOSS channels with thousands of participants, like what IRC was awesome for and Matrix seems to be pretty ok at?

For me, the reason why Delta Chat hadn't caught up on me is stickers. There's a sticker picker on desktop, but not on mobile, and its behind more settings. Weird that it doesnt do it like WhatsApp where stickers are added to personal collections (favorites) that only sync between accounts and can be added manually; it's not necessary to make it like Telegram or Signal where you can add a collection from a repository.

For chatting it is really enough. Like email.

no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what's not to like?
