- Arathorn 1y agofwiw, the vast majority of Matrix encryption errors got fixed by 2024 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHzh2Y7BABQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHzh2Y7BABQ etc). Search on mobile (in Element X) is on its way and is making good progress: https://youtu.be/Q6NSmptZIS4?t=1297 https://youtu.be/Q6NSmptZIS4?t=1297 from a demo from a few days ago. Finally, self-maintaining servers now exist (https://element.io/server-suite https://element.io/server-suite, complete with AGPL distro: https://element.io/server-suite/community https://element.io/server-suite/community) (On the other hand, notification reliability on Android is still a known problem on Element X for some users that we're working on.)
