One supports the other. Running high profile on premise solutions helps support the Matrix eco-system as a whole, especially if the installation federates. The SaaS offering means that smaller organisations can also get come onboard without

Many organisations have made this switch (and of course we use Element at Element for running the org). We do have support for org wide management in the form of the Communities feature, but we want to completely revamp it to make exactly w

Sorry you don't like the name, hopefully it will grow on you. On SEO, quoting from the post itself "We’re obviously aware that Element is (once again) both a dictionary word and a mathematical term - but in practice, looking at se

Worth pointing out that some of the largest proponents of Matrix today are governments and civic institutions. The federated nature and ability to self host are really important to them. The French government's installation has been in

Glad you like it, the original idea was to think of Riot in terms of a 'Riot of Colour', though in practice it can be interpreted in lots of different ways. We think Element has much broader appeal and really like the association

Hey, firstly many thanks for championing Matrix. We know that the name change will be disruptive in the short term and even tried to address this point in the blog specifically for people like yourself trying to fly the flag. Further down t

Many people do just that, but it really depends on what you use it for. Synapse resource usage is dependent on the complexity of the rooms that it participates in, not the number of users. So if you intend to use it just to talk to a few fr

There is nothing that prevents you hosting your own jitsi as well and configuring your matrix stack to point at it.

I was replying to your previous comment that Matrix as a protocol is not suited to chat by pointing to the millions of people who use the service as a means to refute the point. You can see numbers for the public network here ( https:/
