On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

“Discord” is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as “Dead”, as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?

    I use element for work and don't have many complaints. I miss the gifs because I'm a dork but don't find it bloated, garbage, or unstable. I have more complaints about discord to be honest.

      Well maybe not that unstable if I'm honest. But super, SUPER slow to sync up for sure. As for bloated, I suggest you check its memory usage: it's quite obscene for what is essentially just a chat client.

        You sound like you haven't used matrix in a while. I use it daily. It isn't super slow to sync.
