WTF
Downloaded Element to set up a Matrix account.
It uses Google Recaptcha - if you block Google domains, you can't sign up.
So you run an open source tool but use a proprietary, privacy destroying tool to control it? You are part of the problem not the solution.
When I try to put in a query in the contact form to Element if this is true on their hosted instances, I can't because it uses Cloudflare.
