In my quest for a #Discord alternative for my gaming group, I'm going to toss #Matrix into the bin of "nope". It ticks most of the boxes, but holy fucking hell the constant nagging to revalidate every fucking login is not going to fly. None of my friends are going to tolerate that shit just to talk about #TTRPG scheduling, campaign planning, and general life events. Intensely user-hostile.

I'm also using curl for admin so far, and I just *love* how fast access tokens expire and having to log into my admin account constantly to get a token that works. /s

Super fun stuff. Love it. I'm sure I can dig around for a config to deal with this but first experiences matter and I'm already annoyed so what are the odds of that happening, rather than just moving on to something else? Pretty fucking high.

It doesn't help that their own shit is super buggy - like when you invite a new user to an encrypted room, they often can't see any messages prior to their arrival unless they jump through a shitload of annoying hoops, which they're just NOT gonna do.
