On the side bar it lists the following:
- [Matrix/Element]Dead
- Discord
“Discord” is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as “Dead”, as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?
Takeover aside, would you consider spinning up a different community anew on Matrix? After all, it does cost essentially nothing to do so.
I want to talk to admins once again, since last time when this incident happened, they did not pay attention, and spinning off anything official on this main instance needs to be in coordination. I am extremely pissed that these trolls got away with no consequences on two occasions (the faux harass claim and Matrix takeover), with admins just stalemating what was obvious and one-sided. In fact, Yayannick maliciously few months ago reinstated the taken over Matrix chatroom as the official Matrix chat of this lemmy.ml privacy community. I would first want admins to purge him, then administer a Matrix chat for this sublemmy.
