Compared to Signal, where does element stand today in terms of privacy and encryption? Due to the decentralized nature they werent able to offer the same guarantees from what I remember
I noticed that they renamed the Element mobile app to Element Classic. Has Element X reached feature parity and stability yet? For how long will Classic be maintained?
User report from 2025: Both the application and web UI are still buggy and slow. This is not acceptable in an application this simple in nature, that has been around for so long.
Aurora is a big deal! I’ve been waiting for the Rust SDK to come to the web.
I’m not fully through the talk yet, but it looks like they’re first modernizing the old application and planning to eventually switch base to Aurora, which seems sensible!
Either way, Rust SDK on the web, finally! This will hopefully make it easier to write other Matrix clients, since the JS SDK is pretty undocumented (and outdated).
So honest question as I am now looking into matrix as a solution to combine multiple messaging channels. Does it play well with signal/telegram these days or do I need to constantly update various connectors and hope for the best?
I apologize if it was mentioned anywhere but has there been any retrospectives on the August security update and v12 room roll out.
The v12 room upgrade in particular seems to be difficult, and still not supported by many of the bridges. Is there a plan to force upgrade all rooms on matrix.org at some point?
It's good to see Matrix getting more adoption. I still feel a bit uneasy when so much of it is focused on big institutional deployments, but hopefully that can trickle down to a better experience for average users.
