Does anyone know when can we expect to communicate with whatsapp or facebook messenger users on element?
Edit: Question based on DMA: element.io/blog/the-eu-digital-markets-act-is-here/
As far as I know, the Signal protocol was chosen to be the intermediary layer between the existing platforms. Matrix protocol was a candidate, but was not chosen.
Still, if you wish to use a bridge between Matrix and some other platform, then you can either set one up yourself or try to find a Matrix server that already has such bridge set up. https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/
Do you have any articles or publications about that decision being made?

I am still interested to know the details of how they came to this decision. Why Signal instead of Matrix.
I swear I feel like a shill...

This is one thing I've found on their github so far, but it seems inactive.
There is a fork that element seem to have forked back:

why would we be able to? are the any plans to open them up?
interesting thanks, that's cool to hear. Sad that there's no effort to move to a standard protocol, but understandable.
You can right now … except it is a paid service … https://element.io/blog/element-one-all-of-matrix-whatsapp-signal-and-telegram-in-one-place/
