You buy a new iPhone and your wallet cries. You wake up in your bed and believe that you have to buy a new phone every year. Or, you take the repair pill and you stay on iFixit.com and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

La Francia rende obbligatorio l’utilizzo di una sua chat di Stato. Al bando definitivamente Whatsapp e simili nella PA (Telegram e Signal), promossa invece a pieno titolo Tchap, la app di casa dedicata espressamente a tutti i dipendenti pubblici dello Stato.
L’app è costruita su #Element, un client open source che utilizza il protocollo #Matrix, anch’esso open source. Questa architettura consente la gestione sicura sia dei contenuti che dei metadati.
In Francia la PA passa a #Matrix mentre qui non abbiamo ancora capito che esiste internet. Questo significa che la Francia non finanzia le big tech e ha capito l'importanza dell'interoperabilità e del sovranismo digitale
Interesting write up, but many issues are a consequence of the federated approach of #Matrix. Users should compare Matrix better to Mastodon than to WhatsApp.
Currently thinking about nuking my #Matrix account - right now I still need it for some projects, but I am considering whether stepping down from them is worth it.

The worst for me:
- decryption problems
- client startup time
- lack of search
- having 3 clients which all suck in different ways
- not all my clients supporting threads
- lack of self-destructing messages
This gist from Peter Bourgon perfectly explains why #matrix seems to be so misaligned with what users expect from a chat platform (which only happens to be one of the many things you can build upon Matrix) and what they get.
