      I don’t see any reason for communities which prefer IRC to make a move to matrix but your comment seems unfounded.

      Matrix Foundation, which is a steward of matrix protocol, is a UK non-profit community interest company.

      Element is a for-profit but how exactly is it dodgy? It is primarily a FOSS company. Their only connection to cryptoidiocy I know of is in some experimental P2P matrix implementations.

          From the blog by status:

          Furthermore, the collaboration between Status and Matrix is expected to:

          • Utilize the Status Network token within Riot.im by enabling crypto assets
          • Create a bridge between Matrix and Whisper (Ethereum’s own real-time communication protocol)
          • Integrate Status DApps as widgets within Riot.im

          This does sour my view of Element.

          Matrix Foundation might have been an afterthought but it still is a valid step in ensuring at least some independence of the protocol from Element.
