  • I wanted to participate in some Matrix groups, so hosted Conduit. Synapse was out of the question because it is too heavy for my cheap VPS. Some of the groups were encrypted, and my messages there were consistently rendered unreadable! Whether this was a Conduit vs. Synapse or matrix.org vs. everyone else I don’t know, but the result is thw group being rendered unusable.

    But my biggest problem is easily the storage, as Conduit offers no way to clean it up and my disk space is really small. The mandatory “everyone stores everything” model is so weird and seemingly unneeded for a chat… Why isn’t it optional at least??

    Seriously, why is Synapse - the only fully-functional implementation - so damn heavy? Even the developers admit it doesn’t scale, introducing a different commercial version for big deployments! (wonder if this was the plan all along lol)










  • Self-doxing is a major reason why I never tried dating sites/apps. You don’t have any chance there without a photo of yourself, and having my face posted online is a strict “no”. Especially since I don’t really look like an adult, which might attract some… unwanted kind of attention.

    But mostly it’s the fact that pretty much all men want sex there.
