I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

It is often sketchy. The search function doesn't work properly. Loading older messages often makes your client spaz out. There's several glitchy commands. Spamming snowflakes can slow down your client to a crawl. A friend once crashed Element on my phone using a lot of nested quotes with muscle emojis. We had to spam other stuff so I could open Element again because the moment those messages started loading my client crashed again, preventing me from even changing the channel so I could open my app again.

I use Element and Matrix because it is the best privacy-respecting option, but it has a long way to go.
