They do. It just doesn’t work for them, but they aren’t opposed to it.
Matrix doesn’t offer disappearing messages (which I consider important for digital minimalism and cybersecurity. Even if the user chooses not to enable this feature, it should be an option). Again though, if you have a found a use case for these messengers and they appeal to you and you’re able to get the people you interact with using them, great!
Matrix, for which Element is but one client, leaks a lot of metadata and is not at all simple to set up correctly. Would be my guess.
I use it myself but it can be a real pain and very confusing to newcomers and more experienced users alike.
Plus no one client can do everything yet, not even Element.
Calling on it isn’t finished yet and those operating their own servers have to install their own TURN servers which seems either too much of a daunting task, or too expensive considering no matrix server I use has one afaik.
Could someone explain why there is no mention of Element?
Ask the author.
