There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations. Don’t sleep on this opportunity…

My issue is that it is just much heavier. My XMPP server consumes a fraction of RAM and CPU that my Matrix server does.
synapse is notoriously dogshit because they’ve ended up needing to constantly focus on developing it rather than finish getting dendrite (the actually optimized server software) feature-complete so it can take over as the reference implementation.
like, jesus christ, synapse is written in python! entirely unsurprising it has terrible performance.
They even admitted this, lol. “Oopsie, our flagship server implementation doesn’t scale. Here, we made a commercial version for your bigger deployments”.
