    Sweet! Element already has some work put into for secure gov use, plus federation is the reality at scale.

    About fucking time… But knowing our corrupt overlord fucks, they will just use matrix.org free service and conclude “it’s not responsive enough, whelp, we tried…”

      Title is inaccurate. @Beep@lemmus.org please use the actual title. They are not replacing Teams.

      It’s the EC doing software. They will somehow find a way to pay at least double and it’ll be declared a success if someone manages to install it on a reviewer’s laptop.

    I’ve always heard matrix was so so at best. So this seems unwise.

      Matrix is good. Element is not. It is a terrible application filled with bugs that ends up limiting the quality of other client applications.

        Interesting. My company uses Matrix Element as well and it works great.

        I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.

        Rocket.Chat seems to be doing well in Europe as well; they recently released their own native matrix implementation.

        I’ve heard element, the common server software and even the protocol itself are also simply meh as well … That’s not a great start… And the name alone is a huge problem for adoption

      Hopefully the intention is to contribute and help make it into something that can serve large organizations reliably.

    I tried installing matrix once on a VM at work. A lot of work to get it running and it refused to work for some reason. I guess there are better alternatives, something made with xmpp or even rocketchat

    Wow, they must have some really smart people making these suggestions.

  • rmuk@feddit.uk ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    They should just use WhatsApp.

    Why not xmpp with ejabberd or prosody and only one client for the workers ?
