  • Yes they have been trying to diversify income sources and so far mostly ended up with governmet (including military and law enforcement) contracts. But they are still burning money fast, as the entire company has a VC funded startup culture where being efficient with your resources counts little.

    My personal guess is that Matrix as an open ecosystem will be mostly dead in 5 years, and Element will survive as a much smaller defense contractor.

    It’s easy to mistake and yes indeed it came before like the other examples. I think the difference is that the roman salute is already culturally not-ok to use, so still using it is an intentional sign. The Ukrainian slogan on the other hand is quite commonly used without bad intend (although most Ukrainians also do not know much about the fascist history of Bandera to be honest).




  • Hmm yeah, I thought this is about organisation internal discussion. Of course if it is just a mailbox for outsiders to use, you could just configure some forwarders so that multiple people get the emails and can respond from their own account if necessary.

    Selfhosting email specifically is quite hard. Not so much technically, but because of how a few large providers have cornered the market and drop most self-hosted emails reaching them with the excuse of fighting spam.

    Hosting a forum that requires login credentials (incl. 2fa etc.) is quite easy though. But I guess that wouldn’t work as a way for outsiders to contact you.


  • I am confused why you would use a single email address instead of a mailinglist.

    It is also possible to set up a private forum with mailinglist capabilities.

    Generally speaking it is better to find a trust worthy host, or host on your own hardware than trying to repurpose some public service and hope e2ee alone is sufficient.
