[Battlemesh] Messages to me on Matrix

[Pedro]

Hi,

1. We did an error encrypting battlemesh room, but we did not did 
anything to avoid doing stuff not relevant. Looks like it is relevant 
because we reached the level of someone complaining publicly. So, 
someone please solve the problem just creating a new battlemesh room as 
part of battlemesh community/space in matrix, inviting everyone and 
renaming current one as old. If nobody does it, when I have some time I 
will do it myself.

2. No, you don't need an electron app to run the element thing, in my 
case, I use a specific firefox profile with pinned tabs for the chats I 
use [1]. By the way, signal is the only "app" that cannot be ran on 
browser, shame on them.

3. Continuing 2, there a lot of possible matrix implementations, Daniel, 
did you see this link? [2]

Cheers,
Pedro
