Matrix is slow, buggy trash with bad clients.
(Incidentally, this is also the incantation that will cause its primary maintainer to show up in the comment thread and tell me that I’m not using their seemingly annual complete new client rewrite that fixes all of the problems and makes it perfect now.)
Bad clients issue stemming from the bad design.
Soatok covered it very well here: https://soatok.blog/2024/08/14/security-issues-in-matrixs-ol...
I'm quite sure most of these issues were fixed by now, but the fundamental issues remain, at least in this federation.
What fundamental issues
Pretty much why centralized billionaires will always win. It takes a lot of resources (in terms of hardware and engineering) to make things at scale and smooth. The rich abuse this, the not rich can't afford to be principled.
