hot take: if the 'unable to decrypt' meme is the only thing you have against Matrix, then the only valid alternatives you may suggest should be end to end encrypted.
It honestly hardly ever seems to happen (I've never seen it), but if you're afraid it will happen to you, you can just disable end to end encryption in Matrix. Nobody forces you to use it. Even without it, it's still infinitely safer than Discord, Telegram, Revolt, etc.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz That's not the only criticism I have. My homeserver has died three times. I gave up. Running a Matrix server is like using a hammer to pound in screws. Synapse is not what I'd call "production-grade" and it's been... what... 10+ years? And nothing else really has feature-parity last I looked. I do not want to run my own anyway. I *can*. I have better things to do with my time. Element (the biggest sponsors of it) work with police forces and told people if they don't like it don't use it. Right here. On Fedi. You can go find the post. I do not want to use Matrix because of the combination of all these things. Especially the last one.
