I have once tried Syphon but for an unknown reason it did not work for me really well.

Obviously there is a mistrust of the team toward the community, which makes them regard asking a question as attacking their product.

No other client seems feature-complete.

In my opinion it is because the team which implements the features to Element, including what to implement and how to do it, substantially decides the protocol itself as well. You would easily identify who both implement the protocol and review PRs.

If you guys are by any chance interested in how members of the community responded, please check out the comments added after the PR was closed: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/9240#issuecomment-1703060227 and below. You would be able to see the pent-up negativity toward the reluctant team communication. Check these two:

• https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/321#issuecomment-1140423589
• https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/339#issuecomment-1703873136 (Mind the screenshot!)

To me it shows well that the company thinks little of the importance of the communication between internal team members and external volunteers.

Yes, I should have done that actually.

Where the hell are Western feminists?? 🤦

Fax machines are one of the main ways of communications there. I guess floppy disks are indeed partly used at municipal offices yet.

Unless the governments would change radically how they see FOSS from a way of reducing money cost…

Japanese local governments, let alone the central one, still have almost zero knowledge about the value of maintaining infrastructure which they should have full control. Virtually even discourses about it do not exist yet. Huge difference from the European governments.
