I hate using Discord and Google for open source as much as the next FOSS-head, but I do also like receiving reliable calendar events and chat notifications. 🙃

@cassidy I hear you about reliability. I gotta say Matrix/Element is pretty solid. As for calendar events, Google is reliable for calendar events when everyone is using it. Those outside of Google regularly encounter long unfixed bugs on Google's side, like their shitty handling of UTC.

@eighthave Element X on Android just has broken notification settings which means I basically get all or nothing. Multiple times I've tried to use Android’s notification channels which work well for every other communication app, and either the changes don't apply (e.g. I keep getting notified for channels I've tried to silence), or they apply over broadly and I no longer get any notifications. 🙃
