I honestly believe matrix will become the go to for (federated) messaging everywhere. The element client has much improved and matrix is continuing to get better.
I'll have to try it again, then. On two occasions several months apart, as soon as I tried to use it again it just didn't deliver calls or messages. The only time I tried to use it and it flat out didn't work :/ might see if I can track down the issue through the logs.
as someone who just yesterday was working around what seemed to be a Matrix netsplit on our office/community server (coworkers saw different things on mobile vs desktop vs other servers), i feel like you're glamourizing Matrix. We're still hosting it and committed to it for work,
but Matrix servers have been so finicky for years (with improvements)
this simply shouldn’t happen; it’s almost unheard of for mobile vs desktop to get out of sync unless the server is super unhealthy. can you file a bug or ping in #synapse:matrix.org so we can try to help?
