Comments and Reviews
Matrix stands out as a messaging tool since it's secure, private, and distributed. Underrated IMHO.
matrix just works, decentralized fediverse, self hosted servers, several clients.
although one thing i hate of matrix is how it manages roles/permissions in a room. if you ever lower your power from 101 (founder) to 100 (admin) by mistake, then that room will forever be founder-less. they dont automatically make someone else founder if you demote yourself or leave the room
Its decentralized and private. Thats a plus for me.
Matrix is great. Especially for the future where anyone can host a server and be in control of their messaging.
A great alternative to WhatsApp. You can create a server of your own with bridges to Telegram, IRC and other chat protocols. Matrix is decentralized, so you will bot be banned on all servers.
Right now Matrix and it's reference implementations Synapse (Server) and Element (Client), is the most complete and functional setup i found to move most of my private communication to a free messenger. It still has some drawbacks, but is steadily developed.
It finally provides a framework to bridge together all my chat apps - open source, decentralized and free! This is what I've been waiting for.
