In 2023 we migrated from Mattermost to Matrix to fix some management problems, this big change helped us to improve many aspects of our community interaction.
The most important thing that Matrix fixed was the account creation approval for the chat and GitLab. Before Matrix you would need to wait the Mattermost approval of your account, but if the Mattermost email server went offline your account would never be approved, thus it was flooded with emails asking why their account was not approved, while Jeremy Soller didn't receive any emails.
In Matrix we fixed the account approval using the "Join Requests" room, where each new user request to join the Matrix space, the same for new GitLab accounts where each new contributor send its GitLab nickname for approval.
You can read more about it on [this](https://www.redox-os.org/news/community-announcements-1/) post.
## Discussion
## Discord
A Discord server was a long demand of the community because it's more convenient for most people, we didn't use Discord as the official platform because it's not free and open-source.
Links where this release is discussed will be added here.
Ribbon took the task and solved the demand, the Discord messages are bridged to Matrix and the moderation system is the same of Matrix.
## Organization Improvements
We also did many other organization improvements to save time in most tasks and satisfy more end-users and developers.
