Thinking about dropping Facebook - but for practical reasons I would still need to use Messenger.
Fine - I'll just bridge that into my #Matrix server with one of the excellent #Mautrix bridges.
"The homeserver is outdated (supported spec versions are below minimum required by bridge) bridge_requires=v1.4 server_supports=v1.2"
... right. I'm using #Dendrite, which is completely unsupported nowadays. No migration path to any other Matrix servers exist, which means all the users would need to manually be recreated and lose everything and yeah not happening.
@element really need to rethink how they're spending resources here. They're going to lose evangelists like this.
After having learnt that others seemed to have no issues I told the bridge to ignore the server version and ... it does seem to work.
I have now thus left Facebook.
