If you use Element and treat it as Matrix | itself, it's pretty simple to the average Joe. Visit https://element.io/ | for that. | | (I hope this doesn't trigger that spam filter in your countries). | | As Dep said in another email, Matrix and their homeserver matrix.org is | pretty untrustworthy. Matrix was funded by Amdocs, a subsidiary of the | Mossad from what I heard. Thankfully there are many other homeservers | disconnected from the main Matrix group, my personal favorite and what I | use to host the TDE room and my account is halogen.city. Use | https://halogen.chat/ for their web client (Element). I'm still a little puzzled. How does this differ from the Riot Matrix application that some of us might already have? It was a little worrisome to see this on the Element page: "Element is incredibly proud to build in the open, sharing almost all of our own code with everyone."
