> one staffer wrote on an internal EC staff forum that “I don’t understand the added value here

Usability problems aside, I do think the issue of using a messenger that for official government business hosted in a foreign nation is a hard to understand concept and that should be apparent for non-technical staff as well as technical one...

We heard that nations aren't necessarily are sending their best to EU institutions...

Perhaps I am wrong and he complained about the internal tool using its OneDrive integration to host files are something like that.

I can’t take anyone seriously who prefers Teams to other enterprise software.

Excactly. Teams is pretty bad, but people use it because they are forced to use shitty software by being tied to Mirsofts eco system

In this case it's Element, which can certainly compete with Teams for unloveliness.

Or maybe that your comms won't get taken down by the U.S. like what happened to that judge that put a warrant out for bibi.

What a bunch of fucking idiots. And BTW teams is really bad as well. More features and the most bloat.
