Why not? You made good points here. Just write them down in GitHub issue where someone eventually will pick it up.
It's perfectly OK and everyone loves to engage in innocent rants on the Internet from time to time.
The core issue is that most non-commercial instant messengers suffer from UI issues because developing protocols is fun while developing UI is utterly boring and people usually need to be paid to do boring stuff.

If you're scratching comments about a Brighton pub on a random wall in Swansea, you're not really providing any feedback.

BTW, today we released #PeerTube v3, complete with p2p live streaming features and a behind-the-scene short film.
Read more about it on our blog (and please share π) https://framablog.org/2021/01/07/peertube-v3-its-a-live-a-liiiiive/

@ColinTheMathmo @kravietz Matrix is the protocol and Element is the most popular client.While Element has most features and is developed directly by the Matrix staff,there are still some great alternative clients so in my opinion it makes more sense to point to the protocol instead of one particular client if I'm talking with a person with experience in decentralized services.When talking to a end-user without much knowledge about computers and the internet,it's in fact better to directly link to Element.
If you *really* want to provide useful feedback rather than ranting on the Internet just go to https://github.com/matrix-org/ and submit it as an issue.

I will 3d print this sentence and put it on my desk.
You complained you can't understand how to register.
I pointed you to the registration page. Me and like a dozen of other people tried to be helpful.
You said it's poorly linked from Matrix.org and you're just providing feedback.
To whom? Nobody here is Matrix.org webmaster I guess.
If you still can't get it I suggest user friendly client like Instagram or Snapchat.
Yes, now waiting for your rant about terrible Mastodon experience π
I don't know what you watched but this clip definitely has the part about the need to go to the streets from 3:10 on
> BLM definitely was portrayed by "peaceful protest"
Because it largely was. Riots were still marginal incidents with overwhelming majority of protests being peaceful marches.
> But it's hard to find calls for violence from the popular republicans
It's certainly not hard π
ΠΠ»ΠΎΠ±Π°Π»ΠΈΠ·Π°ΡΠΈΡ ;)
> BLM folks condemned the violence, looting
Well, they certainly did condemn. Now you're just adding adjectives - "they didn't condemn en mass" π
What I find much more important is that BLM did not call for violence in the first place, while Trump did that all the time.
Therefore I find any condemnations by Republicans quite unconvincing. If they don't like what they caused, they shouldn't have called for it in the first place, should they?

re WhatsApp. The new rules are completely illegal in the EU. GDPR says you cannot restrict access to a service by forcing people to accept terms for their data unrelated to the running of the service e.g. for advertising.

good thing we dumped all the money into the military to defend our nation from these outside agitators
Oh come on, this is just too easy to verify...
At the same time you had Trump and his bulldogs inciting violence before and even more after he lost election:
BLM declared itself as a peaceful movement and its protests resulted in some riots. Boogaloo folks call for a race war and actually are responsible for racist killings and terrorism.
Proud Boys - who are very much associated with Trump - even burned a church.
That's the difference between these two. So if you're saying US police doesn't perceive far right as equally dangerous as BLM... you're 100% right and this is the core of the problem.
I understand that you're talking about the usability side of Matrix, but this is a typical case with open-source protocols. https://matrix.org/ has a prominent Try Now button on the top right which takes you to the web client. Very likely in the past it was more complicated but if you managed to register with Mastodon what's the difference here?
1) Go to https://app.element.io/ (which is popular web-based client for Matrix protocol)
2) Create an account at the default matrix.org instance
3) Chat to anyone in the network including all people's instances
What's complicated here?
