I really hope they can reduce the amount of time it takes to start a "room" / add a person to contacts. Its really a deal breaker only those with strong federation desires will wait for element to load.

Matrix is mostly a victim of the government forks taking up their time in different directions instead of having just one app like signal.

> Finally, cryptographic warnings are being eliminated. Historically, as end-to-end encryption was rolled out throughout Matrix, not all apps verified the identity of their users, triggering confusing and unactionable warnings to users. We are now shifting towards only letting devices whose ownership has been verified by their owner participate in conversations, killing those warnings - as well as other underlying protocol changes to eliminate warnings.

As the operator of a small instance for family and friends, that's an important topic. The very frequent use case is : "I lost/replaced my phone and didn't save my passphrase". Does that mean that the account would be lost ?

So how exactly do I get ESS running on my TrueNAS? Cant seem to find straight answer on their page.

Seems like this is a paid product meant for enterprise use.

I have trouble even just veryfing that on their page. So far its an instant turnoff, when I cant even find basic info.
