@Blort yup, we do, because we've been dogfooding it on our main accounts for months. this isn't really a beta, but an early stable release (with some features missing). it does have registration, but only for homeservers with native OIDC set up, and there's not a migration tool for existing homeservers yet.
@mcepl @cybette @matthew no, it's not officially abandoned, but very very bandwidth starved. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/09/01/this-week-in-matrix-2023-09-01/#dept-of-status-of-matrix-face-with-th for more info.

Since announcing the idea of #Matrix 2.0 at #FOSDEM, we've been busy building out full real-world implementations for folks to play with, and today we're super excited to take the wraps off Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/09/matrix-2-0/ 👀🎉🎊🍾👀
Community maintained moderation tools, a MSC hoping to make room upgrades smoother, and plenty of clients updates. That, and much more happened This Week in Matrix!

@nixCraft Somebody said standards?
@thibaultamartin @raphael @austin that does not look like the right github link ;)
Great interview with the new head of the #Matrix Foundation @josh and the rest of the team discussing an exciting future for the #OpenSource community and distributed secure communication. Definitely worth a watch:
Element X Android in production, appservices support dropped in the rust SDK, and a chance to get a MSC2997 t-shirt for real.
That, and much more happened This Week in Matrix !

Progress on the Matrix Server List after a month away from computers.
There are still a few rough edges, but things are coming together to help people escape the gravity of the @matrix instance if they want to!
It's displaying dummy data, close to reality but not accurate
Exciting news, Android fans! The Element X preview has landed, delivering lightning-fast messaging. It's a sneak peek, with more to come.

@glennf @gruber they haven’t backtracked at all? all they said is that they would only enforce it once the scanning tech is more reliable. it’s arguably even more pernicious, in terms of kicking it down the road. it’s bizarre that Signal is claiming this as a win, tbh. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66716502
Happy to see @josh joining the team at @matrix as managing director to strengthen the work on an open network for secure, decentralised communication.
