Germany "develops" its own element fork with its BundesMessenger.

That's a very differen approach compared to other countries where messaging is 100% mandated to the commercial world.

Probably a few use it but it costs nothing (except maybe the element server)

To give that more context: The BundesMessenger is developed for secure communication in the German army (named Bundeswehr in German). So it’s most likely not only about cash but also about security. It’s e2e encrypted, can be federated to several locations, etc. Seems a smart move to me. Edit: Actually I’m mistaken. It’s for the whole public administration. Not only the army. Not sure how I got that impression. Argument holds, though. 🙈
