    I didn’t know that feature. So, if I understood it well, if you have a Slack community you could move your people to Matrix with no pain. Sounds really good.

    Anyway, I just cannot understand why the fact that Google dropped support for XMPP could hurt it that much. I’m not possitioning myself, I just cannot understand. That’s all.

      Same reason iMessage dominates iPhones. Proprietary lock in as a vendor makes transitioning regular people very hard. After years of everyone on Android/Gmail being able to talk with people that used XMPP were suddenly cut off.
