I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.
It’s good to have an easy model for communication between members of different trusted organizations without requiring everyone to create a new account on a different server.
I’ve heard element, the common server software and even the protocol itself are also simply meh as well … That’s not a great start… And the name alone is a huge problem for adoption
Matrix is good. Element is not. It is a terrible application filled with bugs that ends up limiting the quality of other client applications.
Rocket.Chat seems to be doing well in Europe as well; they recently released their own native matrix implementation.

Didn’t XMPP already solve these issues a long time ago?
This is a case where federation is nice.

XMPP is federated
Any matrix client available for both android and ios with video conference capabilities?
…
that might have sounded a bit too aggressive. My question is genuine. Family members needs.
Yeah. Compared to Teams, Matrix is fine. It’s just far from a powerful tool built by people who actually give a shit.

Element the server suite is fine - it’s just a version of Synapse with rust and Python bindings.
