It seems that neither user interest nor commercial interests are enough to keep protocol development going.

It’s kind of sad.

I've found Matrix (clients, I guess) really hard to use... but I'm in IRC channels where lots of people are using Matrix. What are people using?
Might be worth revisiting, we've seen great improvement in the last year :) I use Element X as my mobile daily driver, and use Element Web on my laptops. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions!

(meta: I need to create a new account here... but engaging here with this one since it'd be suspicious to have a new account with zero karma weighing in.)

Hey Robin!

Element Web is I believe what I’ve used in the past and didn’t enjoy. I like the UI of Slack but not the UI of Discord.

I’ll give it another look. I asked on Mastodon for any native apps for desktop people are aware of. I’ll see if that yields anything.

Using matrix isn’t enough to support the foundation, sadly.
Sure. I can’t be the only person who doesn’t fully understand the Matrix ecosystem.
