Yeah matrix needs a refactor or fork. No good drop ins this month.
Simplex already has PQC enabled and makes metadata analysis a nightmare from a protocol level without Tor. Needs more optimization and super peers to fix a group delivery bug but surprisingly stable for something so new.

I wouldn't really trust a refactor if it was from the Matrix team. An outside fork I'd be okay with, but it'd probably break compatibility to fix the problems I have with it, possibly introducing fragmentation, which could get dicey.
I am 100% cool with a developer coup. The matrix devs are not serious people.
tbh, I feel like it'd be easier to just build up XMPP further at that point since the XMPP devs would welcome that with open arms, as opposed to a hostile fork with the Matrix devs.
It's going to end up decided by whoever gets something good enough for streamers to use professionally first. Maybe XMPP, ive just seen it fail at adoption so many times and matrix seems to be what has the most momentum
