This is a request to all FOSS projects who only use matrix for communicating with the community.Please consider bridging your rooms with IRC or XMPP.India has banned Element, the most widely used Matrix client. I know it's just a client, but to be safe it's wiser to stay away from matrix for a while. So please help us in this regard.#foss #libre_software #floss #opensource #free_software #india #mastindia #element #matrix #xmpp #jabber #irc #communicate #community #government #communication

@shakil_tcsAt least matrix is open source.What *really* gets in my tits are those so-called "#FOSS" projects whose only contact method is via #GitHub. Just how dumb can they be?

@0 @shakil_tcs Other terrible forms of communication would be Twitter; Reddit; Youtube; Discord; Telegram; etc. All have FOSS alternatives.

@RTP @shakil_tcs I just discovered this article too."While Element never compromises end-to-end encryption or user privacy, we have been contacted by Indian authorities in the past and addressed them in a constructive fashion (typically responding same-day)."It makes element.io very much not appealing.Also this ban would be much less of an issue if element.io / matrix.org weren't such central points in the Matrix network.

@pep @RTP Indeed. I don't like the protocol myself but it's just that it is more popular then XMPP or IRC.

@sachinsaini @pep @RTP Matrix has not been blocked. You can't block a protocol.Element has been banned.

@shakil_tcs people shouldn’t drop using a software because of an stupid government decided to ban it. You should ask the government to stop the nonsense.

@pep> It makes element.io very much not appealingYou're talking about a for-profit company talking constructively with an elected government when asked to. Surely it would be much less appealing if they didn't?> Also this ban would be much less of an issue if element.io / matrix.org weren't such central points in the Matrix networkThe fixes here are more software completing their implementations, and more independent homeservers.@RTP @shakil_tcs

@strypey @RTP @shakil_tcs It'd be much more appealing if they didn't to a government at all, or if they did whatever they could to delay the moment they had to give anything at all.This isn't what the idea makes it look like. Indeed it does look like they are “constructively” answering them.
