About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.
Matrix Manifesto We believe:
People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.
Matrix isn’t the alternative for discord. Others have been named.
Matrix is a chat with a high regard for encryption, more an alternative to Whatsapp and signal then discord.
Matrix is the federated alternative to XMPP and IRC first and foremost, imho
Well xmpp is federated, it’s just slightly more centralised then matrix since if a server goes down the room/muc made on that server goes down as well
I too am wondering what makes you say that. What is it missing?
Voice Channels would be a start. Game Streaming is another use-case of Discord my friend group uses which is missing.
Matris does not use E2E encryption for most channels. Its primary draw is federation, not security or anonymity.
It makes no sense to encrypt public channels.
There’s 0 point to encryption on public rooms
