Moved onto Matrix a while ago because of this. Gonna be real, Discord is better but all Matrix asked me for was hardware verification. I fucking hate this ID verification thing. Like we are going to see a sharp spark in identity theft going forward.
…and shit, I might be part of it. I had to verify with an ID to get my CompTIA tests, which I passed. I am still arguing with Pearson to delete my personal data, but I might be in the shitter with all the others getting their identity stolen.

What Matrix client are you using?
Replying to @SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev
Element.

That is your problem, it’s super slow and server management is hard. I am seeing that Sable seems to be popular.

Is Sable worth getting into? My friends and I have been using Element for a hot second now and it works good enough for us. Like if it does everything we need, so how is Sable better?

I have not tried it yet, I have used Cinny and Sable is a fork of that.
