Non-profit Matrix.org Foundation seems to be moving funds to for-profit Element

I knew matrix was fucked the instant I was scrolling through Element for rooms to join and most of it was the kind of crypto crap you'd see on subscribestar. Then I saw one for "toddlercon" and noped out so fast. Like what the actual fuck. Not even telegram is this bad.

That’s why I run my own server can defederate or block instances that allow that instant block!

The new managing director that just chimed in on that post is the best handling of public outcry I've ever seen. Will be very interesting to see what he delivers.

I'm really glad you commented. Your comment made me go read the thread linked and I'm glad I did, because this is some serious stuff.

It was always a problem how close the matrix.org foundation and Element were. Hopefully these are just misunderstandings and the transactions have good explanations.

I'm really glad the Foundation now has a managing director, and I hope we'll get an honest answer once the weekends over.

Thanks for pointing it out. I really like matrix and after reading the thread I'm grateful for the community member to actually take a look at whats going on and am eager to hear what the managing director will answer/do about it :)

I just checked in on the thread and that managing director is now someone I admire. Really encouraging stuff!

Sad to see Matrix go like that
