I currently use Synapse with bridges to Signal and Discord, and Matrix API. Is Element X a better way to go server-side now?
as I understand, Element X is a client application (for mobile, for now)
The title of the article, and body, say otherwise.
No, that's your reading comprehension. You are conflating Matrix 2.0 and Element X.
I wouldn't say it that harshly, the title is really not the best
No they don't, it's just confusingly worded
Element X is a matrix client that will eventually replace Element for android/ios
Matrix 2.0 is the server suite, some of the changes in matrix 2.0 are necessary for element x to work.
Got it, thank you. So if I'm following now, Matrix 2.0 a new protocol, and the solution to run instead of synapse is Element Server and Element Call?
Yes except element call is a frontend for voip and p2p
Is that still the case?
Though I'm assuming you mean protocols not app names.
I think it's actually Element X, Element Call and Element Server Suite, and they just did not want to write Element 3 times
