The reason it feels like Element hasn’t moved for years is because we have been focused on fixing the mobile apps and crypto: https://element.io/blog/we-have-lift-off-element-x-call-and-...

The web app has been evolving too, but less dramatically - we need to enable instant sync there.

In terms of custom emoji and selfserve moderation: both are the direct casualties of having to focus exclusively on servicing the government customers who actually pay for Element development. Since the end of 2022 we have had to completely change focus to first generating $ in order to be sustainable, and that meant parking everything but Element X, Web, Call and Synapse. The Libera mess is also effectively a symptom of that.

P2P, Dendrite, Thirdroom etc have all been shelved for over a year. (Weird to see so many year-stale comments on a year-stale blog post).

P2P and Thirdrooom aren't really news but Dendrite itself? :/

That's significant and not at all the expectations set by current state of docs.

I thought it was just a slump and have been holding out on some pending changes. Sad.

well, hopefully it is just a slump, and as you may have seen we’ve been doing releases on a best effort basis. it isn’t the first time dendrite has had a hiatus. we did try to spell out the situation here: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update...
