#matrix I really, really like the ESS flavour especially now I can run multiple instances side by side, but my God - the insistence on device verification and encryption will kill it in the mass market. I have set up a public, unencrypted video room and just want to send a link to someone so we can chat. For this to happen I need to create an account for them and then try to explain the login and verification process using a recovery key. For non-techies this is utter kryptonite. FFS matrix!

    I'm not saying get rid of verification/encryption - I'm saying make it a requirement if you want encrypted chat only. If you know enough to want that, you can probably deal with the keys shit. This vexes me so damn much.
