There are a bunch of Dendrites already running serverside on the public network there - it's almost out of alpha.

Meanwhile Conduit (http://conduit.rs/) is a new implementation in Rust which is making spectacular progress (it's overtaken Dendrite in some places already).

Both of them are unrecognisably snappy, relative to Synapse - even when Synapse isn't completely overloaded.

Very interesting! I hadn't heard of Conduit before.

So, if that's available, why not use Conduit as a candidate for the p2p-matrix? Wouldn't it be a better choice than Dendrite? AFAIK Mozilla is already heavily pushing Rust into the WASM territory so perhaps that would make a lot of sense.

Conduit doesn’t federate yet, but Dendrite does - and Dendrite is working surprisingly well for p2p already. But in future could use Conduit too; it’d probably be way smaller footprint.

Conduit looks fantastic, I might start using it and possibly contribute.

On that note, is hosting a git GUI a trend? If I want to contribute I have to sign up. I’d have dozens of logins if projects started doing this.

I wonder if matrix could work as a decentralized git.
