      Element and the Matrix team might move out of the UK if the legislation is passed

        It’s expected, but I’d be sorry for them. To move the company and the people would require big expenses.

        @zakiuem @ParanoidFactoid wow. I figured that’d be the case, but it just goes to show how catastrophic this legislation is

      Not really. Signal is a walled garden but Matrix has a lot of a privacy issues.

    Better distributed mechanisms, such as Jami and Briar. I have hope on wider adoption of Jami…

    No one ever talks about delta chat but it makes email in a ui like instant messaging. Its encrypted and if wanted you could host your own email server. There is no way anyone is going to shut down email and the emails with delta chat are encrypted client side and delta chat can never be shutdown or messages can’t ever be read.
