The link near the setting refers to https://element.io/ which seems to be a product for business and enterprise. Should I have a matrix user?

Matrix is our self-hosted equivalent of a ‘federated’ WhatApps like platform. You could use it but it’s not required ;-)
More on https://matrix.org/
**Element is just a ‘front end’ for Matrix ;-) Like an app for the web, mobile and desktop that connect with a Matrix server!
I think that a link to https://matrix.org/ would be a lot more appropriate in the settings than the link to element.io. I see no way for me to just “join” on element.io, but at least matrix.org explains what it is.
That’s very true indeed!
