Like everywhere i said this opinion it has'nt went well was my experience because i used the wrong server or something ? I felt like it was seveely underpolished and felt like i was in a ghost town like i get it there are uses like joining a foss project community but there is no internet randos to chat and the clunkiness threw me out immedietly . Anyway thoughts and opinions ? Also if anyone has tried IRC would you reccomend ? And do give a review .

I tried Element and FluffyChat. My impression of Matrix from an end user perspective isn't great tbh. I found it so slow and hard to use. Searching for a simple word took ages to bring up results. Last time I used it video calls still went through Jitsi and looked terrible. It also didn't ring on my family's phones so we had to drop Matrix for Signal. And it's not just me either, like for example the project lead for Asahi Linux has been having many problems with Matrix. GrapheneOS even had their chat rooms all break like 3 times from Matrix bugs. It was the reason why they started bridging to a Discord server and I hate to admit it but damn Discord is actually so much better to use.
