    No, the issue is also with the protocol, but if you use a big commercial homeserver like Beeper or Matrix.org you don’t notice it so much. But try self-hosting Matrix and you will quickly notice how bad the protocol is.

      Huh? Can you explain more? I’ve self-hosted for a few years now, I set up the config once, made a cronjob that updates every now and then, and it just works on a reasonably fast server.

        Then you must be using it only in a very limited fashion, or have extremely beefy hardware.

        If you use it a bit more, the hardware demands due to the totally over-engineered protocol shoot up and the advanced administration options are very limited and cryptic. And if something goes wrong it is very difficult to fix without abandoning the domain name and starting over from scratch, which is again a protocol issue.
