Element on Google Play Store

in DBuzz • 4 years ago (edited)

Another social media app removed from the Google Play store. That's no surprise. However, what is surprising is that they where unprepared and there F-Droid is package outdated.

Did the Element developers really thing that after Parler and GAB they wouldn't be next? That they are protected because they are "open source" and "community driven"? Mastodon is open source and community driven and got into trouble when GAB used their technology.

PS: Element is an app to access Matrix messaging protocol. Matrix is used by large variety of users most of which are open source advocates. Which in turn are mostly left leaning.

But being driven away from everywhere else right leaning users are also looking into open source protocols.

What we are looking at is the left leaning open source community loosing one of their own apps because a few on the right have started to use the app.
