once in a while I see the 'unable to decrypt message' matrix meme come by and I can't help but wonder
how
I've used Matrix for years and the only times I've seen it is:
1) when logging in without entering the end to end encryption password or alternatively approving the login from another device
2) using a wonky client that doesn't support E2EE in an encrypted groupchat (and arguably there's no reason to encrypt groupchats to begin with)
it just kinda sounds like a skill issue? ngl
