zulip seems to me like it would be a better solution to me (open source, self hostible, familiar paradigm, etc), but then again, I think _anything_ would be better than teams... so more power to them!
- tcfhgj 8mo agoso Matrix doesn't have self hostable open source options?
- Arathorn 8mo agohttps://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm (aka ESS Community) is Element’s FOSS distro fwiw.
- iknowstuff 8mo agoFrance’s government uses Matrix. Presumably a nice perk to be able to talk to them via federation
- pm3003 8mo agoGermany (government and armed forces) and NATO also use it.
- iknowstuff 8mo agoGermany?? I can’t imagine unless they’re using it to send pictures of signed and stamped printed and scanned letters
- panick21_ 8mo agoGermany doesn't universally use it but its used in germany, for example for healthcare.
- cge 8mo agoI'm not sure if it ended up being used this way, but if I recall correctly, when that was being initially implemented, federation was actually a core feature: different agencies / municipalities / etc could have their own servers and control their own data and accounts, but inter-agency conversations and rooms would be well-supported, along with each agency retaining a copy of the rooms on their own servers.
