When I moved to Lemmy, I saw a thing for Matrix in the profile area and checked out that and have been sitting in a furry room for like a month. I just started actually looking at it and of the only 2 active people who talk, one is an incel and the other has a nazi fetish so I noped on out. The other issue is I constantly get PM’d by underage users looking for sex RP.
Anyone have any recommendations less… Uncomfortable?
It honestly depends. There’s a couple of different backend matrix servers, some more polished than other. The biggest issue that tends to cause the most issues is federation, especially the main .org instance. For whatever reason gathering logs from federated public chat’s on matrix.org can bring even a beefy server to knees if you aren’t careful.
