  Not funny. Do you think the riots are leading to better society/life ?

    Riot is the name of another Matrix client *edited - the old name of Element, apparently.

    I believe the parent comment is referencing the fact that the Element application used to be called Riot [1]. [1] https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/ https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/

      Sweet. Was not aware. Thanks!

      I'm pretty sure Riot was the original name of Element until 2020.

        Vector was the name, before they renamed to Riot.
  • ArcVRArthur 6y ago
    Element.io rebranded from Riot.

    The other comments are right. I found it mildly amusing that this happened after the name change, which was presumably in part motivated by some worries over political correctness. Sorry for the confusion, throwaway.

    That is often what riots aim to do, yes.

      According to Durkheim , riots and really crime in general have the purpose of pointing out (perceived or real) deficiencies in society.
  • ziftface 6y ago
    Like the other comments said, that wasn't the meaning, but also yes.

    According to my country's history, they indeed did.
