     @cjd would there be some kind of benefit?

     @cjd I think dendrite is supposed to be a lighter weight matrix server. Mine has never had the performance issues some people seem to report, but I suspect it's related to larger rooms and I am the only user that really joins any rooms outside of our own server so there aren't that many remote rooms to sync up.

     @cjd there are encrypted DMs on nostr IIRC, but I don't think you could really expect feature parity with matrix.

     @cjd yeah I've heard it's similar to something like Apache Wave in how it assembles room history. I just have never experienced the problems I have heard others experience. I wonder if rotating/upgrading rooms more frequently would help since you can keep the history from growing forever.

     The problem is in the protocol, it's impossible to build a good matrix server, and even if you do and you start to get around 95% of market ready, it's a treadmill and the company is going to rain down new features/incompatibilities on you, that's why Synapse is the only implementation.

     Nostr is just a pubsub protocol, you can build "anything" on top of it. But if you're building a chat protocol, you need to do one of two things:
     1. Each channel lives on a server and that server must publish every message in that channel.
     2. Weird blockchainey thing matrix does, which means you need to propose some updates to nostr to make the relays smart enough to know what is and is not a valid message posted in a channel.
