Description

The current registration flow is heavily promoting matrix.org, which is against the goals of matrix and the server is slow.
I made a design that promotes it a little more:

https://www.figma.com/proto/b612uJLqif2ndNUmqQjIhq/Untitled?node-id=1%3A17&frame-preset-name=Desktop&scaling=min-zoom

This should be changable with a setting, since it only makes sense for app.element.io. (Other deployments are specific to a server normally, but the main instance is the one you get linked to from element.io)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the registration and login flow in element-web alongside the linked Figma proposal. Determine where the current matrix.org promotion is rendered and how deployment-specific settings are handled. Done means the proposed UX is implemented and the promotion can be configured for app.element.io versus other deployments.
