What am I missing with Matrix? (herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol)

I will be upfront with this, and say that I've never been a huge fan. But I did reinstall a Matrix server, and some clients to see if it'd gotten better in the year or so since I've last used it.

This just... Kind of feels like a more centralized XMPP with group chat folders that sort of function? The spaces feature is neat, but I've tried 4-5 clients, and every single one of those throws all of them into the same screen as the DMs by default, and I can't find a way to change that.

Am I missing something here? Like. I want to at least see what people like here, I just can't.

Matrix starting development under Israeli company Amdocs is enough for me to never touch it with a 10 foot pole no matter its rebranding and move to become a "UK" company.

Yeah... I'd seen some stuff with that, just didn't mention it because I hadn't looked into it too hard. The one I'm trying is a fork of a rewrite of the original server software by unrelated devs. I did try Element, but there's nothing on the server that I actually care about.
