One thing I never liked about Element is the devs’ refusal to put effort into supporting multiple accounts. Now I’m starting to wonder if that was a deliberate choice and not a fundamental technical limitation. Discouraging multiple accounts and effectively forcing people to use one identity for everything is exactly the sort of requirement I’d expect from VCs looking to sell out to advertisers.
