matrix e2ee is a "Unable to decrypt message" simulator, though I understand there is work to improve that these days, and that's more of an implementation issue than a fundamental design problem

I think it's kind of silly for a chat protocol to be globally federated like Matrix is. we already tried that with IRC 30 years ago and it turned out to be a great way of generating network-wide spam! so now IRC networks are only internally federated, with a small pool of trusted servers
overall I think it's a shame that matrix is often touted as *the* open-source chat app because I think the above points do have real usability impact for non-programmers trying out the network
