I really wanted to like Matrix, but the clients applications are trash. This looks like it has a nice client app at least.

MODERATORS
This app looks nice, but Element has improved quite a bit recently, and the others clients have improved as well
Yeah, I use Element daily and I'm pretty happy with it. I have far more problems these days with Discord than with Element/Matrix.
Yeah, unintentional bugs are much easier to deal with than maliciousness, like replacing the "file upload" button with buy nitro, or discord in the browser's audio being finnicky (dark pattern you don't get this problem on element or the discord app.)
Of course, there are unintentional bugs as well, on top of maliciousness.
Lmao. I'm guessing this is because they've begun to use LLM's for moderation (maybe trying to replace real humans?), but LLM's can't really count.
Yes. I noticed my Discord problems uptick sharply when I uninstalled the creepy invasive desktop app and started only using it in the browser. Element just sometimes fails to upload a file or something, but it's pretty stable for me lately.
Swear. I still haven't found a decent client for matrix yet
Heh "Join the Tailchat Discord."
And with that they are out.
This looks straight up like Discord and i like it.
What is an noIM?
Not Only Instant Messenger.
Strange, I cant seem to find and meantion of that term by searching for it.
I think it's something that app creator invented.
I've had a Rocket.Chat instance for the past few months, are there any major differences between RC & Tailchat?
