To lighten the mood, I support this decision and it's good we're finally sorting this out.
As previously discussed, I'm not sure how discussing this publicly would change anything. As implied in the e-mail, this seems to be a decision that had to be made between KDE and EMS (who hosts the homeserver) because hosting a Matrix server is not free and performance isn't either. From what I've read, it's a matter of "when", not "if". If you are having problems working with Matrix, please let someone know (your homeserver, the matrix org, the client(s) you use) and please don't passive- aggressively push this away like that's going to solve anything. I believe KDE developers are better than this. If you experience crashes in NeoChat, please let them know. If you realize that matrix.org's website needs better SEO (it really does 😉) then please let them know. If our own documentation in the wiki is lacking, please let us know. I think this would be a great opportunity to fix oversights in our onboarding. We encourage this same contributing behaviour towards our own software, so I think we can extend the same graciousness towards our Matrix services. I don't think these are unsolvable problems 🙂 Thanks, Josh
