@korba well, we can work with that. the original choice of HTML for rich text in Matrix was to give us the flexibility for pixel-perfect copy-paste in future, but then we fell down a rabbithole of dealing with Markdown dialects and haven't got back to figuring out how to do richer text while sanitising styling against attacks. Have you already filed a bug for this somewhere ooi?

Getting started in open source can be intimidating: everything is public! Don't go alone, take one of our mentors with you and start contributing to Matrix on 30 January, in HSBXL right before FOSDEM!https://matrix.org/blog/2025/12/fosdem-presence/#friday-30th-january-community-hackathon-lounge-evening

@bloodaxe Matrix is the protocol and is intended to support use cases like Discord. Sounds like you are more worried about client roadmaps though? Each project handles it differently - perhaps try cinny.in for something more Discordy?

@bagder Matrix isn't a static thing and we keep working away trying to improve it. If you can let us know what's gone wrong (and critically on what client, platform and what server instance) and give us actionable feedback it would be much appreciated.

@moreentropy common reasons for having a bad time:1) if you lose your session (clear the tab; delete the app) and later try to log back in, you will lose history sent since you were last logged in. this is fixed by MSC3814, but implementation has got repeatedly stuck.2) if you forget your recovery key/passphrase, you'll lose all your history. this could be improved too.3) if your server is beta or underpowered then risk of badness.4) abusive spam (we've been working away on antiabuse)

@bloodaxe Element Web has beta support for video rooms in labs. Cinny hasn’t implemented it yet, but this is a question for Cinny’s roadmap; it’s a client specific thing rather than a limitation of Matrix.

@chebra @bagder while matrix.org does sometimes enable experimental MSCs, they should always be backwards compatible (especially on federation). it doesn’t seem likely that bagder is hitting an edge case where that failed.

@bloodaxe yup, understood. the fact is that Matrix as a protocol supports all the same functionality as Discord (and then some), with the possible exception of arbitrary permission combinations (Matrix uses a permission hierarchy rather than purely role based permissions). Video/voice rooms for instance are demo’d by https://element.io/blog/drop-in-drop-out-chats-with-video-rooms-and-a-new-search-experience/ but clients like Element haven’t shipped them as they’re prioritising other stuff.

@chebra not trying to dismiss feedback, but we’re not aware of any problems caused by matrix.org running something incompatible with other clients or servers. what are you actually thinking of? unable to decrypt errors are not to do with matrix.org instance compat (and should be largely gone since sept 2024 as per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHzh2Y7BABQ)

@gnemmi @ferret @debacle @caten yup, Matrix is an open standard, despite not being from IETF. Just as XSF is a SDO, so is The Matrix.org Foundation: you can read the open standards process at https://spec.matrix.org/proposals/ and see the wide range of MSCs from many different independent implementors and developers. Gentle reminder that the enemy is centralised surveillance capitalism, not other open source projects… :/

@TheZeldaZone the options for inviting someone to a chatroom are either by matrix ID (if they already have one), or by email (where they will get an email invite that should resolve to a matrix invite once they sign up, although it's quite fragile), or by linking the room via matrix.to - e.g. "come to matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org". matrix.to should work pretty well; what problems did you see? is this to an invite-only room or a public chatroom?
