You get rate limited to hell

Yep, that’s the point described in the linked paper - traffic goes via the same domains used for their app, and the messenger is embedded in their app

The Matrix Foundation and Element/New Vector are different orgs, and it’s Element with the government contracts

“slowly being cannibalised” at the start the foundation was just new vector/element putting on a funny hat. It’s got less bad as time has gone on tbh

Copying my post from up thread:

Delta chat is hilariously slow. It’s less of an instant messenger and moreover next business day messenger. That’s ignoring the problems you’ll have running it on your own infrastructure.

Electric is not a discord clone and element has a customer base more similar to slack. And to end encrypted direct messages have been the default for years now in Matrix.
