Yes, and I only use it for some Linux support groups, don't know why they are not on matrix.

Because matrix is absolutely not there yet like lemmy and mastodon are.

I‘m an admin and a coder for roughly 20 yrs, yet it took me hours to understand matrix and elements. There is just not enough knowledge out there atm and the apps dont do a well enough job themselves imho.

Used matrix too. But for the next try I wait for dendrite is out of beta state. The bridges fucked me up. One reason I use beeper, lets doing the pros the fucked up bridges.

Makes sense. We‘ll see if matrix clients can catch up to the other two. Usability is what we need. Matrix has been around for a long time but so far I only see enthusiasts and privacy obsessed peeps talk about it. That needs to change.

If EU and others starts their hunt for breaking decryption, matrix could get more interesting. They wrote a blog article about being unable to break decryption of selfhosted instances.

Yes, I agree. I recently read an article somewhere here about the web 2.0 being on the way out and the need of taking it back from the megacorps through decentralization. If you search for it I recon you‘ll find it.
