Let’s put it this way, I do believe that matrix accepting money from israel is morally disgusting and I won’t use them. It could be the best system in the world, I am not using it. I’m not asking anyone to convince me, I am already convinced, can we move on now?

From wikipedia:

The initial project was created inside Amdocs, while building a chat tool called “Amdocs Unified Communications”, by Matthew Hodgson and Amandine Le Pape. Amdocs then funded most of the development work from 2014 to October 2017.

I’m okay ignoring it, I honestly don’t give a fuck about their protocol, it’s not my company. There are plenty of alternatives.

You might think it’s ridiculous but the country is committing genocide, sorry if I want to sleep at night and have a bit of morals. Jeez…

I really don’t trust anything Israel makes at this point. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if the protocol has somehow a backdoor and I’m not that expert I can check myself.

Looks like there are some problems with data and decentralisation, even if you self host. The link the other user posted is really interesting.

No there is no perfect option really but this:

the protocol is funded by an israeli company

Personally, it makes my skin crawl, I really don’t want anything to do with them.

WTF that’s really nice! Do they use just the email protocol? Are they interoperable with email and xmpp?

I really like the list of funds they received on their website. Big 🆙

Jesus it’s even worse than I thought, thanks for the link.

I didn’t know as well, I just checked Wikipedia. Funded by Amdocs.

I agree, luckily for me some close friends and family will listen to me and try weird stuff (my mum has successfully been converted to 🐧). I will probably give 2 options: the “good enough” (as you said probably Signal) and the “tech recommended” (?).

Israel needs to be dismantled immediately like nazi germany was.
