A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The organization does suck, I do agree with that. It still needs a lot of UX improvements too. Though you can turn off read indicators in the settings, and I feel like it is a lot faster then commenting on Lemmy. Lemmy being written in rust is actually causing a lot of issues. It's not a good language for web applications and it's really starting to show. It also hasn't prevented security issues either.
Synapse, the most up to date matrix server, is really slow and resource intensive for sure. But, it's currently in middle of being replaced with Dendrite. It doesn't support all the bleeding edge features, but Dendrite has caught up enough to be able to run servers just fine now. In fact Dendrite is light enough to be ran in the mobile Element client, or at least that's the plan in the near future while they work on p2p. You can read more about it here: https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/faq
You can check the beehaw writeup if they didn't defederate already. They've been having too many issues with Lemmy, and it's been a battle with the developers. On Element desktop you can disable sending read receipts, but not mobile which is stupid.
