It’s hard to get people to move from what they know and use to something else. If you moved them to Google, they’d say it’s shit. Same for Zoom. They all do some stuff better than others.
Element is perfectly servicable. They’re using Element Pro which is billing itself as built for government. The first problem is they called it pro, which sets expectations higher than they should be. It’s not going to make them go WOW this is so much better at first glance.
Trying to onboard a gigantic number of people is going to be difficult for a system that doesn’t already have a gigantic number of people on it. I can only imagine how rough the system is at the moment, but it’ll work out.
Ehhhh… There’s so many issues with it. It is equivalent to if Microsoft Teams was a Matrix application. The problem is that the UI is so clunky, buggy, and in general not robust enough compared to other matrix applications. Other matrix applications just don’t have things implemented and also feel the need to copy Element’s terrible designs.
I found element quite alright compared to teams, honestly. I wish the EU actually invested money in matrix to make it better instead of just using the base and building a bunch of stuff on top of it.
Wait…element is only text and voice correct? It doesn’t support video calls? Esp group ones. Please correct me if I’m wrong but used matrix proto a while ago…back then it didn’t even support file uploads. Again, correct me if I’m wrong. Tbh, matrix protocol is pretty good how much I’ve used it
Correct but it requires an anal probe to function correctly. Plus the administrator needs to wear nipple clamps, nobody knows why it was programmed that way.
I honestly might prefer Teams over Element, and I have a Matrix server. Element is dogshit, it is so frustrating to admin. At least Teams gives you a full featured pile of shit.
element. based on matrix
Bruh I use that on the daily, and it works great.

As long as there’s a web version so I don’t have to install another stupid client, i’m ok with it.
There is, who knows if thye’re using it. They support both. Enterprise office types generall prefer apps even to the detriment of the data itself.

I’m able to use it also, perhaps due to 40 years of computing experience, but … for people used to something like Slack, probably not that great.
I keep wishing that somebody would replace Matrix with something we don’t have to be so embarrased about.
So… maybe if a major government is paying for it, it’ll improve much faster? Here’s to wishful thinking.

Ohh getting more people using matrix could be nice

You are wrong. There’s text, voice, and video. In group as well.

Oh you know, it’s made by Germans. It’s only sensible.
Element does support video calls. I had one with my friend a few months ago
I just googled “open source teams alternatives” and Mattermost seems to be much better.
Yes. Ive tried out their hosted demo. Its good tbh. Again, 3 4 years back during peak covid
