We’ve seen a serious uptick in misinformation about Element and Matrix over the last week, so thought it would be useful to set the record straight from Element’s side.

    I want matrix/element to be able to replace discord

    They are not ready

    • threads don’t really work
    • scrolling up in a conversation is jumpy as fuxk and nearly unusable
    • voice room discovery is very weak (who is online, who is talking, etc)

    Maybe in another 5 years…

          Oic, so not Matrix itself, but Element adding another service in its client.
          Does it have any amount of integration though? - As in, can someone using a Matrix client other than Element (and not supporting the Jitsi thingy) know if any 2 users of Element are doing an audio chat?

            I run my own Matrix server. (tuwunel ftw)

            Element 1-on-1 calls are based on WebRTC, and are native as I see it. I’m not sure if this works with multiple people, haven’t tried it yet but I think so.

            The video calls work over a Jitsi plugin, but it’s quite bad. Element Call is a Matrix-native video solution and is currently in beta.

            I don’t know. I know the first implementation in element just had jitsi rooms but you couldn’t see if anyone was in them, so discoverablity was really bad
