How much work do you think would it be to also create a FOSS backend, maybe utilizing an existing xmpp server for federation?
Where do tractors mainly transport people (or cargo)?
A boat is clearly closer to your definition of a car than a tractor.
By that definition a tractor isn't a car.
You’re calling me a clown when you don’t even know what a car is?? 🤡
You are making up arbitrary definitions to suit your silly argument. A boat is a form of personalized transport with an ICE engine, a steering wheel and seats, even a windshield etc. so it is clearly a "car" 🤡
And boats are a variety of car if they have an ICE, right? 🤡
You are also arguing in bad faith, because cars are not the same as internal combustion engines. You might be able to argue correctly that tractors replaced farm animals for productive use, but tractors are not cars.
The point is that horses got replaced by trains, trams and bicycles for most people long before cars became widely used.
Having used both (and I agree that Element is pretty shit), I think the advantage of teams mostly boils down to the integration with Office365, which is hard to replicate for Element even if it wasn't shit otherwise.
I think much of the critique is never the less justified, but out of interest, how much do you think it has to do with the integration on Teams with Office365, or put differently, if the EC would stop using Office365, would the percieved advantage of Teams disappear?
It's not that hard, but Matrix is driven by bad ideas (decentralized rooms that function similar to a blockchain, basically mandatory e2ee compatible with large public chats where it makes no sense, etc) and those actively harm it being used as a chat program and bind developer resources.
Imagine someone could have predicted this inevitable outcome and could have invested that money into reneweable local energy sources /s
No, sadly no active fork of Alexandrite that I could find.
We found a nice fork of the mymlm (old.) frontend though.
