1 year agoI’ve been using Matrix for several years now, and am very happy with it, and with the progress that it made.
I have one instance just for me, which I use for general chatting, as well as for some light experiments (I’m toying with some client development and trying new plugins or appservices now and then).
I have another, private and undfederated instance for family comms. I set it up at the very beginning of the Covid-19 era, when nobody knew how long and how severe will the travel restrictions be, and we’ve been using it heavily ever since.
As someone who has written and maintained a RSS aggregator for years, I can tell you that this jankiness is in big part because of how vague and under-defined the feed formats (RDF, RSS2, Atom) are, and how “creative” various websites are in producing feeds which are just barely standard-compliant, but also just enough screwed up to cause problems when parsing them.
It was a headache after a headache trying to get all the weird corner cases handled.
