Yes that's the correct one. What's scummy about it?
The circular symbol on black background looks like the many ChatGPT clones.
Fair enough. Have a look at matrix.org, it links to element x as a recommend client.
I prefer FluffyChat. Since version 2 is better than before.
Still no matrix client for android as good as any other "proprietary" chats.
element x is the new one element is the old client i recommend fluffychat tho
Element X is the new version of Element. There's currently 2 versions available on the store/fdroid since X is in beta.
The fdroid versions of Element X and Schildichat X both seemed to require me installing and setting up nfty to get notifications working.
What's scammy about it? It has 2.9 stars in my gstore area. Never trust a random rating from "stores".
