> I try to be positive and supportive of project, but my experience with these guys is that they're incredibly arrogant.

This has been my experience with many FOSS projects in general. Don't even get me started on what happens when a fork emerges.

This statement might be ok in a generic sense, but it is unfair in a discussion of Matrix and Element. They have gone out of their way to encourage other source.

I get that you didn't say this explicitly about this particular project. I just think these folks deserve some credit.

Not to mention the great "This Week in Matrix" RSS feed they do that I've been enjoying for years.

Incredibly supportive of anything within the Matrix ecosystem.
