@fdroidorg
yay. hope all the apps do this too.

@jeybe The companies legal name is (for now) still New Vector Ltd.
And yes it's a new app.

@fdroidorg @jeybe Isn't the parent company of New Vector called Element?

@philipwhite That would kinda surprise, since they announced the name as shiny and new and with a lot of explanations three days ago. They explicitly said they would rename New Vector to Element. I think they would have mentioned if they were associated to a company which had that name all along. More Infos here: https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/

@maralorn oh, you're right. I must have misread that post originally. I thought what you were saying, but then for some reason I interpreted that post differently. Now that I read it again, I don't know why I thought that.

@Antanicus @fdroidorg
Ho notato...

@aldonogueira Install, login, authorize your new #Element client via #RiotX or a desktop client with an active login to restore your encrypted chat history, uninstall RiotX. You can also manually use your encryption key to recovery encrypted messages. key@fdroidorg@mastodon.technology @matrix

@CryptGoat @matrix Thanks!

@docalabordage it requires android 5.0 or later.

@guenther haha nice, I had this "multi-account problem" with Mattermost and then used Mattermost and Mattermost Beta on Android. With Matrix I am still with only one account. I am curious, do you use internal Matrix instances that do not federate?

@blipp there are cases where a Matrix account comes with a larger Plattform that has single-sign-on. So even when that server federates, i still have to use it in addition to my usual account.

@guenther I see :)

@blipp @guenther we are using defederated Matrix at my job for #GDPR compliance reasons.

@laufi @guenther That seems to be common then, I also know of a research group or two doing that.

@guenther
Yes!
