It is pretty good but pretty reduced in functionality imo. Thats why I generally suggest fluffychat. Its nowhere perfect either but it works better on a daily basis for me.

I know. I said semi abandoned because element x is their focus, which is the reason they are not adding features to element and are hesitant to put in fixes for things that would require massive changes.

This is still not ideal because the flagship app isnt advancing in a good speed. Thats why I dont recommend it.

Matrix is great and works great.

Element is a semi abandoned client that happened to come from some of the makers of matrix.

Use literally anything else. Fluffychat works for me. Element is okay for debugging sometimes so I keep it handy.

But the commenters point stands. In matrix, you can send whatever you like, as illegal or morally corrupt as you wish because its nobody‘s fucking business AND e2ee.

If someone on my server sends csam, I would never know unless someone reported it to me. Because thats how privacy works.

Okayyyy… thats not great. I just read one of the threads and thats scary.

The person(s?) maintaining this seems to be VERY BAD at communicating. They did fix the auto start problem but did not at all discuss this from what I see. Thats not great.

It works very well and there is no speed difference at all. Of course you wont ever get anything worth in life without either putting in the work or paying either with money or your privacy.

Judging by your username: same country, same reason here! I‘d have been put in the chamber back then and I dont want people to do it once the swastika is back on our flag.

Okay! You got me there!

Using the word woke unironically is one of the best tells that someone is an idiot.

Okay, thanks for elaborating.

I agree. There are many selfish people out there. But they dont live in a vacuum. In a world where you have the repsonsibility for your surroundings, many people could rise to the occasion. Also, if a water pipe breaks in front of my home and you decide to vote against fixing it together, what do you think will happen to you, either when you need help or if I‘m vindictive, sooner?

We dont have anything to compare our living conditions to because we have never lived any different than now. We dont attempt to test self governed communities. What do you think why that is?

One hint that shows me that it works are coops. They work without central oversight because its not the oversight that makes us interact but our own intellect.

Okay. How did you arrive at this conclusion?

I wish. Sadly, voting on issues that directly impact you is not a reality yet.

Thats a really good question! Thank you.

This idea is part of a larger premise so I‘d need to establish a VERY different reality that most of us live in now. Funny enough, your point of people acting out of pure self interest is one part that would go first because these people would not survive the world I‘m imagining.

Federation is part of anarchism and in most interpretations I‘ve heard and read so far, communities would work for their shared benefit so of course you fix your neighbors roof, otherwise they will not help you in the future.
