Have a look at glances. It seems quite ok.

I did have a chat with one of the Element sales people a few months back and based on the conversation, it sounded that Dendrite is not anywhere on their roadmap to invest any resources.

Same issue here.

I think it would be good practice, that verifying app support should take a front seat in the future before upgrading. The way it is currently handled, is not a good practice to retain users, but rather drive them away.

Will have a look. Thanks.

Got it. Thanks.

Zulip looks like a good alternative for us due to the available integrations which we also will take for a spin. And there is always XMPP of course, but I’m not a huge fan of it as all the Clients seem rather outdated.

What other better options would you consider instead of Matrix? Happy to hear your suggestions ;)

I also looked into this option and was wondering how it might collide with our existing Ansible playbooks, as Ansible itself is not declarative and some tasks might overwrite existing functionality.

That’s a valid point. Initially we were thinking of running without federation, just to avoid that someone creates a public room by accident and have all the internal communication out there.

I’m not sure if this is a valid fear, as I haven’t looked too deep into the permission options yet.

I haven’t tried it out yet, but based on

some options should be already available.
