Matrix is far too slow for what it's intended to be. I'd certainly like to see E2EE come to Revolt.

It's way better than Matrix

I really like Jeff Nippard's YouTube channel

Yeah, I prefer Twitter. I have a suspicion that Mastodon will only get a chance at relevance if something at Twitter pushes people off the platform. Reddit's 3rd party API ordeal seems to have boosted Lemmy quite a bit, so it shouldn't take too much, but maybe I'm too optimistic.

I got back on Lemmy for the first time in 6 months and it's way more active. I'll be using it more. I tried Mastodon a while ago, but it didn't stick. I'll try again.

I agree that most messaging services are problematic, but Facebook having Messenger is part of the moat that's keeping FB users on Marketplace. I think offering any non-email messaging solution would be hugely beneficial. I like the Matrix idea quite a bit.

I agree. However, I think that most people won't use Craigslist simply because it doesn't have a lot of the modern niceties, specifically modern messaging solutions. The email system they have is pretty painful to use.

Marketplace is pretty useful. I hope a solid open-source alternative comes along.
