+i decided to shut down the matrix server that i launched recently
+(see [previous post][1]).
+here's my thoughts about this brief matrix experience.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+my main intention behind matrix server was to use it with my friends, but
+almost nobody responded, so it's over.
+synapse server is a bit resource heavy, so without it performance will be
+better.
+
+overall, matrix seemed like a good alternative to proprietary messengers to me.
+it's ability to maintain group end-to-end encrypted rooms is very good and
+also it was not so hard to set up.
+
+the biggest con for me was that matrix is spamming all the chats with a huge
+pile of system messages and notices. for example, all status changes of a
+chat room are displayed as separate messages and i find this very annoying.
+also, you can delete messages, but message deletion event is left forever in
+the chat history.
+
+maybe in future i will launch my server again
+(i haven't purged all my configs).
