I wish Matrix/Element focused a bit more on their experimental P2P version, released as experimental in 2020 and then left it in the drawer :/
https://matrix.org/blog/2020/06/02/introducing-p2p-matrix/
https://github.com/vector-im/element-android-p2p (... and just why the zuck are they hosting builds on a gdrive instead on the github proper ???)
Yeah it's going slow but it's not something that can be quickly done and it'll require some big changes in the core protocol to really work well with p2p
...and not open source... thank you, but no thank you!
Also from their FAQs:
Web3 = crypto
Not a single personal name on their website.
Marked the domain as crypto-scam in uBlock and good riddance. Unironically thank you!
I know non-open source is very likely to be a scam, but I was using it for a month, all the features seams very decentralised. It did not ask for my personal information when registering an account, so seems safe to me, man. Just an advice...
Plus, Web3 does not means crypto only, it means Decentralised, DAO, Smart contract, Data privacy, Anti-censorship, etc.
Are you aware that some of those terms are crypto too?
Uhmmm
