Element.io Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Twitter’s Encrypted DMs Are Deeply Inferior to Signal and WhatsApp. The social network's new privacy feature is technically flawed, opt-in, and limited in its functionality. All this for just $8 a month.

  I love how Matrix or its most popular client Element do not even get a mention. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

  The title undersells the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse. Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Paying users get early access to the new change

  We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Discord alternatives?

  Your best bet is probably matrix, the most user friendly client iirc is element. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Discord alternatives?

  The relevant url is https://app.element.io, that’s the web interface for signing up, etc. You can also use an app such as Element on iOS and Android. General information can be found on https://element.io. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Discord alternatives?

  Matrix is honestly really good, with Element and Cinny being great clients that anyone can use. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Stop Electron apps from auto-adjusting microphone volume! [Question]

  I'm using a messaging platform called Element. https://element.io/ It is a electron app. The issue I am having is, even if I am not in a call. Element will auto-adjust my mic's volume when it thinks I get too loud. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Indian government bans 14 messenger apps including Element, Briar and Threema

  11. Element (encrypted chat app): https://element.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• does someone know?

  There's any number of alternative chat applications available, like Element, Mumble, Teamspeak etc. Source: about 2 years ago

• need help with my riot.im account

  Riot.im got renamed to Element.io several years ago - See https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/. That's why https://riot.im/ redirects to https://element.io/ now. I can't answer your question about the account you had before; that entirely depends on which homeserver it was created on. Not sure how long ago you created it, but a lot of clients default to using matrix.org. You might try putting the full... Source: about 2 years ago

• Most user friendly Fediverse solution?

  Not Activitypub, but decentralised - maybe Matrix through Element? Spaces could be fun! Source: about 2 years ago

• Stallman damn it!

  So to answer your question , it's better to not take a packaged product (software) that doesn't has its ingredients (soucre code) listed for people to inspect and don't trust its convenience. Support other FOSS alternatives like element. Source: about 2 years ago

• XD-M 45: My First XD

  No, I just went to element.io and joined the AWCY? Waiting room. Someone gave me a link to the XD room and the file is there if you look for it. Had to do a lot of scrolling before I figured out how to use the search function. Source: about 2 years ago

• Alternatives that have Microsoft Teams-style channels?

  You might like https://zulip.com/ otherwise I'd recommend checking out https://matrix.org/ (e.g. https://element.io/ ). Source: about 2 years ago

• Discord is changing the layout for the mobile app

  That's actually almost a ripoff of FluffyChat with the pull-up server list from Element's Android app. And given Matrix is trying to mimic the semantics of Discord servers with spaces, I don't even like those layouts. Gross. Source: about 2 years ago

• Discord's AI features violate our privacy, and it's time we pushed back.

  (FYI, Matrix is a communications standard, and Element it the most popular client which is worked on by the same people who implament the standard.). Source: about 2 years ago

• Concerned about Privacy more than ever now... Is it actually that bad?

  If you're really interested in privacy you'd use an app that's actually specifically designed for it and has end-to-end encryption. For messages only that'd be Signal, for a more Discord-like experience probably Element. Source: about 2 years ago

• Discord alternative that will probably be good if we can’t use discord anymore

  Https://element.io here, it’s called element, and it’s nice. Source: about 2 years ago
