     @liaizon wasn't it the direction from the beginning on? Chasing the shiny VC money no matter what?

     Element really just told us if we don't like their direction of selling services to cops we should use another app. This is seriously the direction they settled on.

     @liaizon
     I prefer #xmpp but I don't get why this causes so much flap on the fediverse. Matrix is selling their messaging as a business model and also sell it to the police, so what?
