These maps and statistics are always such absurdly obvious propaganda. It’s really impressive that most people see this and just believe it. Confirmation bias is really scary isn’t it? People want it to be true so they believe it.

Edited my comment again.

Matrix is bloatware.

The resource consumption for chat rooms is absolutely ridiculous compared to XMPP and IRC. It’s so bad that I now believe the protocol is inherently flawed or absolutely unsuitable for realtime messaging.

• XMPP: Good mature protocol but poor client ecosystem.
• Matrix: Unsuitable protocol for realtime messaging with relatively good client ecosystem.
