Good to see @maximilianhenning from @euractiv covering @EUCommission use of Element and Matrix.

A government cannot be digitally sovereign if it’s locked into using a specific vendor. Matrix solves that problem.

@element I hope all this work with the public sector will make you guys enough money so you can keep improving the Matrix/Element experience for the general public. Don't forget us! πŸ™

As much as I would love to message my local government from my own self-hosted Matrix homeserver, I don't think they would ever federate with me. πŸ˜… Can you comment on that?
