@matrix This post starts off with "Last week, Element informed the Foundation that it will be forking Synapse and Dendrite."

It reads like this was news to The Matrix Foundation, and that the foundation was not prepared for it.

Is that true? If so, it's very distressing -- If Element and The Matrix Foundation are in dispute, it leaves us who are committed to using and promoting #Matrix confused as to what and who to support. I remember the first days of the XFree86/X.org, the OpenOffice/LibreOffice and the Owncloud/Nextcloud forks, and things we're not pleasant.
