  • Yes Matrix is not compatible with AP. Just a fact, not a judgment.

    Well, matrix is supposedly open but it’s driven by the company behind it and there is no real way to further advance the standards without the company agreement. The foundation is more a facade than e steering committee, not even the source code is managed by the foundation.

    But again, I use matrix myself so I am not shitting matrix, just pointing out some stuff about it.




  • Matrix is not fediverse. Matrix is created and controlled by a private company, which mask itself as acceptable by using a placeholder “foundation” that’s just a puppet.

    Luckly matrix is based on a bunch of “standards” so there are alternative implementations like Continuwuity (also written in rust and pretty fast) instead of Synapse, Fluffy Chat instead of Element-x and so on.

    But no, matrix is not fediverse, it’s not compatible and will never be (my opinion) because the commercial entity behind the matrix standards has no intention to open up that much the matrix ecosystem.

    Yeah, it’s not that good as it seems. Still, I believe it’s the best option and the most mature.
