@kde @matrix @kde I'd like to better understand the relationship between the Matrix Foundation and New Vector. This addresses a series of concerns I've experienced first-hand with Matrix. Will you have any power over New Vector's optimization for engagement, and aren't you afraid to serve as a stooge for venture capitalism?

@oceane @[email protected] @[email protected] You can learn some more about the relationship between the two in this blog post from our Managing Director: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/10/26/hello-world/
New Vector/Element does have outsized influence as the company founded by folks who created Matrix, and as the #1 contributor to upstream, but the Foundation's job is to be vendor neutral and a fiercely independent steward as one would hope to see with any FOSS foundation.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
@kde @matrix @kde I'm talking about an apparent aggravated risk of self-harm and suicide among young people. This is the for-profit company charged with implementing the standards you will develop, and I'd like to understand to which extent both organizations share infrastructure, for example personnel and funding. Are these two fully independent entities, or are they part of the same umbrella organization?
That's great. Kudos!

@[email protected] @matrix @[email protected] Does this mean kde gets an integration for the matrix protocol?
It already has, NeoChat exists
@Arsimael @[email protected] @matrix @[email protected] it means KDE will have a say on Matrix development
