With the most recent update to the Video rooms (BETA) on #Element, it seems as though everything is there to be a suitable Discord replacement. Screen sharing, audio calls, video calls. It's all there, now I just need to convince people to give this program a shot for a third time.. Maybe I'll wait til after the beta.
If only #XMPP had a client like this. 😢
Governments need digitally sovereign, secure and interoperable communications. The demand for Matrix is palpable.Steve Loynes (Element Blog)
Following the example of GitLab and other VC-funded open source companies, @element goes 'open source almost everything' with "Synapse Pro";
"Synapse itself remains open source, and Element will continue to develop it proactively, just as it has for the last 10 years ... Available under a commercial license, Synapse Pro will help fund and accelerate the continued open source development of Synapse for the benefit of all of Matrix."

Synapse Pro is Element’s best practice Matrix homeserver. It transforms the performance and economics of huge public sector deployments.Steve Loynes (Element Blog)
Regarding Matrix, a workaround has been implemented until webpush is supported by their specifications. Element-X has a patch going on to fix the default gateway (but Schildinext works), all other clients already supporting UnifiedPush should work

Wow, #Element (the flagship #Matrix client) dropped support for #Firefox ESR in release 1.11.70. Or rather, they never supported it in the first place, only supporting "last two versions". The change causes a corrupted session for ESR users, and can't be reverted to fix it.
(Note that all Debian Stable users, by default, run Firefox ESR. This is kind of a big deal. ESR is always up to date on security, and gets new features once per year.)
They're managing the issue somewhat badly: github.com/element-hq/element-…
The best we've gotten so far, from a dev caught in the middle:
« Element devs follow the policy set out by people that manage them, they get an input but they do not control the policy. »
Nothing from their employer, whoever that is.
Your use case It seems (given the discussion in #27682, unless the person in charge of support there) that Firefox ESR isn't supported. Given it has a large user base (enterprise, Debian stable and...GitHub

Hell, yes. This is nothing but good news. 
I've been using Unified Push + Element + Fedilab via Nextcloud and NextPush and it's been remarkably simple and reliable while keeping all that sweet, sweet metadata out of the Goog's hungry clutches. Thank you!
Can't wait for Yunohost to support sliding sync so I can shift to ElementX.

Only days before Press Freedom Day, India banned apps for secure communication because of "terrorists" use.Tutanota
🚨 🇮🇳 #India banning #OpenSource #Matrix clients like #Element is equivalent to banning your favorite web browser or email client.
🤯 Can you imagine if Firefox, Chrome, or Thunderbird were banned nationally?
🔑 Privacy is a human right.
➡️ And governments will never stop human rights abuses by denying its citizens' human rights.
Pass it on.
