Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers.

@JadedBlueEyes they lost me already with "serverless" and "post-quantum" and when I saw "cloudflare" I completly turned away

@JadedBlueEyes lol

@siguza @GossiTheDog @JadedBlueEyes I’m holding out for serverless CloudFlare Gas Town.

@JadedBlueEyes not to pile on matrix, but "Matrix is the gold standard for decentralized, end-to-end encrypted communication" also seems bold. I have never had a good experience using matrix, nor heard anyone describing one

[danvolchek@mastodon.social]

@JadedBlueEyes to be very fair, I tried it a few times and do not interact with people who use it, so my sample size and experience is low. I would love if it overcame usability issues and replaced discord!!!

@danvolchek @JadedBlueEyes

True (it's also my experience) but it’s still a huge deal that the German and French militaries are actually putting their weight behind Matrix...

@JadedBlueEyes this whole thing is so bad. The title makes it seem like they updated the matrix protocol to use post-quantum cryptography, but all they did was toggle a switch for cloudflare TLS connections

@JadedBlueEyes We published a response on the Matrix side at https://matrix.org/blog/2026/01/28/matrix-on-cloudflare-workers/

Seeing two basically back-to-back Cloudfare outages is a span of a month last year, both of which had a really good technical blog posts - that boiled down to being a minor programmer error, got me suspicious that LLMs are involved.

I mean, I remember like 1 other CF outage before that, and two major outages in a month?

This kind of explains it. It's what happens when you turn to LLMs for your development (see i.e recent Windows bugs).

Tech will suck so much now

@JadedBlueEyes @joeress if you haven't seen this yet, I could see you discussing it on one or more of your podcasts

@matrix @JadedBlueEyes I do understand that matrix.org should really not pile on and at least maintain a good relationship with cloudflare, but this blogpost seems a bit too starry-eyed about cloudflare building a shitty excuse for a matrix server and having the audacity of calling their crap a "serverless" matrix server.

Also, like mentioned elsewhere in this thread: even if cf built something halfway decent, that really just gives them a position where they can vendorlock anyone who uses it.

@JadedBlueEyes I love how it uses post-quantum encryption to not authorize the requests
