    meh, as I understand the alt is an open source project so it maybe terrible but it’s a terrible that can be pressured to fix

      More likely an amalgamation of several open source projects glued together with a bunch of proprietary stuff for Cisco hardware, desk phones, some weird PBX system and so on…

      Nah, it’s probably going to be an abandoned project with 10+ merge requests in line with no one to review them - if it isn’t already.

          My friends all go on and on about how much element sucks and yet I have zero problems with it, it’s confounding to me

            I can’t imagine element sucking more than teams. Teams generates suicidal ideation every hour

          Lol element got horrendous ux. It almost made me go to alternatives like revolt/stoat.

          Luckily I found sable and it’s pretty great

            It’s alright? What’s wrong with it?

            I’m using both web and android version. There are some things that I don’t like, but they are nothing compared to fuxking teams.

                  Discord mods. It contributes to a sense of place, it makes people feel like the channels are rooms. It’s very important for giving a community its own unique vibes.

                  Element feels soulless because the channels are always changing order. It feels ephemeral and artificial. Discord feels solid.

                    Sorting is not ordering. What your are talking about is ordering. I agree that Element currently has no ordering and that is kind of a bummer, however when you use a messanger like apporach it’s fine because no one orders or sorts their WhatsApp/Signal/whatever conversations by name.
