It’s kind of confusing but: basically some matrix 2.0 features are implemented in an non-finished state by element X (and synapse) as a testbed for those features, but the actual features aren’t finalised or implemented in most clients. The MSC’s (matrix spec changes) aren’t merged, so clients won’t want to implement it.
2/4 of the MSC’s required for 2.0 are merged as of now, and the other two are close.
2024 was when those features began to be ready to be beta tested, but it takes a long time to get a protocol finalised, since it can’t be easily changed once done.
Think of it like a wayland protocol that isn’t merged, but a desktop, say kde, has an implementation already.


Afaik element has it as a semi-hidden option and cinny has it by default
wait fr? Where did you see this?

Claiming we now speak in a chatbot-influenced dialect disregards the beauty of human expression. Language evolves with technology, but that doesn’t mean we’re losing our voice. Instead, we’re blending styles, adapting to new contexts while holding on to our rich heritage. Let’s celebrate this evolution rather than fear it; it reflects our creativity in an ever-changing world!

Frankly if people are petitioning the government en masse to allow babies to smoke, I think the government should at least seriously consider it. Democracy isn’t just for when ideas are good.
By that I mean that such petitions shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, I don’t think that babies should be allowed to smoke, unless they can make cool smoke rings.

The law would have to get through the courts and parliament too, even if the commission passes it






it would be, personally I would follow the rss feed for blog posts tagged “release” since the next release will be 2.0.
