Comment on Revolt became Stoat
poVoq@slrpnk.net 3 months agoYou mean the multiple millions of VC money and crypto investments? Absolutely.
The Matrix foundation also would have plenty of money if it wasn’t just a front for Element and most funds being siphoned off to pay for services provided by Element.

Hey I know this is an old comment but could you elaborate on this? I’m trying to choose between Matrix and Stoat and no matter which is better, Matrix is out of the question if it’s into crypto bullshit.

These days not so much, but you might find their contracts with the military also objectionable.
But they got a major early investment in 2018 from Status, a cryptocurrency/web3 company, and later in 2021 an even bigger one in relation to Protocol Labs, who peddle their own cryptocurrency.
But persnally I would not recommend Stout either as it is not a serious project nor does it federate. Maybe look into XMPP or DeltaChat.

Thank you for the info. I looked at people discussing Matrix for ages here and nobody brought this up? What the hell?

Well, this is kind of work in progress for XMPP and DeltaChat doesn’t support it. But you can for example try out movim.eu which is a webbased xmpp client (with PWA app) which does support screensharing in small group calls.
Matrix stans mentally block out the many issues it has, so take everything they say with a grain of salt 😅
