Decentralized Matrix messaging network says it now has 115M users

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Matrix is great as a discord alternative, I'd just wish it wouldn't light my Server on fire every time I open element. Like I can live stream 4K to multiple people over that thing, but reading messages takes 30 seconds of fan screaming?
For this reason I hope the element X rewrite also replaces element on desktop eventually. The element X beta android app is so much snappier than element with the new sliding sync, it's supposedly 6000x faster but it just feels on par with signal or any other performant app, not being impacted by how many rooms you're in or how big those rooms are anymore.
Sliding sync is just your client running on the server. Now your server's load is even worse. If you self host, well, too bad. Be a New Vector customer I guess?
