Those criticisms seem reasonable. Regarding package signing, are you referring to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/613#issuecomment-134361033? Additionally, that default for pip seems veritably insane. I understand using system packages, but modifying packages outside the virtual environment is definitely weird.

Can you elaborate?
I used it yesterday, via Pidgin. I'm rokejulianlockhart@xmpp.jp
. Why else would I have referenced it? Don't tell me what I've done. That's not a way to have productive conversations.
Regardless, I can't provide any more technical insight than that - I know solely that the clients provide so much more functionality that irrespective of the protocol, it's better in practice. Fedora, openSUSE, the Bundeswehr, NATO, and Beeper - all chose Matrix over XMPP, not least partially because of Element (which they also all chose).
I don't believe that its existence causes more fragmentation than it remediates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36939482 explains why I consider Matrix fundamentally superior most (if not all) uses, although in practice it's because the clients (Element and FluffyChat primarily) are cross-platform and support a generally uniform set of features, in comparison to the aged (but glorious) Pidgin, and its counterparts.
Its bridges are FOSS, but its client (an Element fork) doesn't appear to be.
Yeah, my experience with Element and a Matrix.org account is that it's sluggish. However, it's been better at Beeper, so I'm uncertain whether it's intrinsic to Matrix or merely Matrix.org and/or Element's servers.
Where did you get that from? I haven't found a relevant blog post.
I wish FreeDesktop would standardize CLIs taking their application colours from the user theme so that colourblindness is catered for.

Why is that preferable over Matrix?
Matrix, via Element.
