Sadly you’re right, I’ve watched the beginning of three different ‘critiques’ on YouTube, and all of their first points are summed up by ‘oh no, it’s multiple women in major roles’. And at least one of them didn’t like that Amandla Stenberg is non-binary.

I for one like the first episode. Especially how they made clear that the politics and public perception of them is the jedi’s utmost priority, which might help explain the downfall of the jedi order in the prequels.

Someone pedantic: It’s source-available, because it doesn’t grant the necessary freedoms to e.g. redistribute and modify the code.

Does it translate to lemmy, or is it a completely seperate data ignored by lemmy? E.g. does boosting result in a regular upvote on lemmy or is it ignored? If it’s ignored, is it possible to boost and additionally upvote a comment on kbin?

Would there be a disadvantage to automatically upvote a comment if it is boosted, for better compatibility with lemmy?

I’m also of the opinion that Element wanted to do too many things. Prime example being the many sdks they now have to maintain for a long time, even though they want to focus on matrix-rust-sdk.

I believe many of these seemingly useless side projects are a result of Element looking for funding. Third room was at the same time as meta was openly talking about metaverse, so Element saw a new niche to fill early.

But yeah, my pessimistic opinion is that matrix.org tries to do too much with the limited resources. Now with sliding sync I do think that they address the long standing ux issues.

It was always a problem how close the matrix.org foundation and Element were. Hopefully these are just misunderstandings and the transactions have good explanations.

I’m really glad the Foundation now has a managing director, and I hope we’ll get an honest answer once the weekends over.
