Comment on Next Generation Internet (NGI) projects adopt platforms Mastodon and PeerTube as main communication channels

Matrix has absolutely bonkers resource requirements relative to the end user experience it delivers, and can be much more complex to deploy. Some of that is intrinsic to federation or to its protocol; some is related to Synapse specifically. I’m not sure whether competing server implementations will catch up before Synapse gets a rewrite in a more performant language, but I’m eager for one or the other to happen.

I admin a public Matrix server, so I’m not by any means against the product, but IMO there’s a reason it hasn’t meaningfully displaced XMPP yet.

Synapse is a mess, which is why Element is looking to eventually drop it for Dendrite. There’s also Conduit.

  Are Dendrite and/or Conduit feature complete/comparable yet?

    Not yet, but Conduit is fairly close if I’m not mistaken.

The problem with XMPP is its encryption UX is dreadful, Matrix got it right with comparing emoji to verify. Also Matrix, despite everything does try to keep its encryption up to date and so all the clients try to follow suit, the same cannot be said for xmpp
