@vampire_lord_red_fang Yes, there are ways to host your own bridge! We have links to resources along those lines in the blog post.

@matrix@mastodon.matrix.org Why was the bridge taken down in the first place, again?

@usul As an open source protocol, with open governance, stewarded by a nonprofit, it's hard to make sense of that comment.But we welcome your elaboration, critique, and accountability. It is only through conversation that we can fully realize our collective goals, after all.

@matrix Why doesn't "synchronization" disappear in the new Element X client?

@matrix well this is confusing as we were told to wait, for months. So it seems now we must find some other way. I still don't understand this whole issue as the bridge was working perfectly well for me for my IRC channel.

@danie10 We were hoping and pushing for a different outcome, but ultimately the resources weren't there to operate and maintain it to the degree that was necessary. It's a relief to hear you had a good experience, alas that was far from universal.For now, we recommend folks explore self-hosting bridges and many folks are reporting success with that route. Details linked in the blog post.Our hope is to build the Foundation up so that it can itself operate bridges like this in the future.

@ck As useful as Cory Doctorow's concept of enshittification is, it has no utility in describing what is happening here.Matrix remains an open protocol, under open source license, with open governance, stewarded by a nonprofit.The facts here are just that a service provider in the space can no longer afford to donate time to a operate a free community service (eg, the bridge). That's a far cry from the moves we see in big tech to lock people in and extract money from them. @element

@matrix @ck @element then it's the enshittification of element. The protocol is not enough, if the clients are not also free software (not just open source), then there is an implicit lock-in.
