# Matrix, Riot, Element, Synapse, Vector... I don't know how it is called anymore
|
|
|
|
Hey that's first problem! nobody knows how to find your service!
|
|
|
|
Go to your search engine and look up the following:
|
|
|
|
"Matrix"
|
|
"Element matrix"
|
|
"Matrix vector element"
|
|
"Element"
|
|
|
|
See? no related results of what we're talking about..

## Servers uses HTTP for it
|
|
|
|
What the hell? Why do a completly separate server use HTTP?
|
|
|
|
I mean, XMPP uses HTTP only for file upload and that's it (Also, the
|
|
HTTP upload file server is started by the XMPP server, not like
|
|
matrix, which depends on, let's say, nginx)
|
|
|
|
## Centralization
|
|
|
|
Yeah, Matrix is a decentralized protocol in theory, but in practice,
|
|
this is different:
|
|
|
|
* Everyone has their account in matrix.org
|
|
* Everyone uses element as their client, because all the others suck
|
|
|
|
## Client is written in Electron!
|
|
|
|
What else do I have to say?
|
|
|
|
## Comparision to XMPP
|
|
|
|
Here's a literally stolen from 404.city table to compare XMPP to
|
|
Matrix
|
|
|
|
| blank | XMPP | Matrix |
|
|
|------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|
|
| Open protocol? | Yes | No |
|
|
| Commercialn project? | No | New Vector develops Element |
|
|
| Government censorship? | OMEMO is banned in France | French government sponsors Matrix |
|
|
| Encryption | OMEMO, OTR, PGP | OLM |
|
|
| Monopoly Network? | Many servers and clients | Most users use Element+Matrix.org |
|
|
| Good sponsorship? | No | Yes |
