First I’m hearing about it

Yeah seems really weird that a service with 2/3rds or more of the users than Discord is completely unknown to me or any of my fellas on the group discord when I asked them.

Can't tell if I am falling out of touch, the service is aimed at a completely different demographic than me, or these numbers are bullshit.

I'm going to assume the bridged users count as well, but a lot of it is going to be private organizations.

Element is used by entities where safety of communications is critical, like NATO, the United Nations, the US Department of Defense, the German Armed Forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the UK Ministry of Defense, and the French Government.
