Because Matrix has got to many inconsistencies and it's too complicated for the average user. Sometimes e2e encryption breaks chat history, the official instance is slow and, most of all, there is NO native support for video calls and screen sharing. Element just uses Jitsi Meet In a chromium wrapper
I would love that. I have genuinely talked about that to my fellas but unfortunately we are too broke to purchase a plot of land, let alone build a house on it
Stoat's great issue is that development has been stagnating for the past like 5 years. It's bad because it doesn't have a sustainable business model (which Fluxer has by the way) and also because it is based in the UK
Really fair point, but I think some compromises are necessary to keep the project financially sustainable. Stoat is incomplete, it's not federated and has shady development practices. Also, vc barely works and it's unreliable as heck
I think their business model is sustainable without massive privacy breaches like discord did in order to satisfy the investors. Its nice because its a really indipendent service that's also planning to add the ability for everyone to host their own decentraluized servers

Instead of hating on this, we should at least be happy about such a breakthrough. It's not only about being able to use that specific kind of software on Linux, but about making the transition as smooth as possible! If people were able to bring their workflow over to Linux and then gradually make the switch to free and open source software (which is what happens 99% of the times when a NORMAL and NON tech savvy user manages to switch to Linux) then it's fine.
This is a mean, not the goal. You gotta consider that many companies require it.
heck I go away 1 day and nukes get thrown
