I don't know about the server being underpowered or misconfigured.
I compared it with those Messengers because that's what we as users are used to.
I know that TG is not E2EE and therefore not comparable on a technical level, but that's still what users of Element are used to.
I personally use iMessage the most as my Messanger and in the last >10 years I never had any problems with a message not being able to be decrypted. And iMessage not being as featureful as Element is not an excuse for having more bugs especially in key areas of the service. Again, iMessage being just an emxample.
A reasonably long message, but you didn't actually give any specifics on what bugs you encountered.
You implied an "unable to decrypt", but this should be fixed in Matrix 2.0 and Element X. If you encounter a UTD now, you must capture it and let Arathorn know.
