Matrix was built to become the open communication of the web and serve everyone. But, as the Internet and email did, its network effect started with governments. Today, and as proven by the audience in the room, most European governments and several others are either using it or looking at implementing it for their communications. This talk will tell the story of how we got there and why.

Honestly the only real problem that's holding me back from using Matrix for everything is that it's really inconvenient (for non technical people) to set up an additional device, as you have to verify it.

I've had to walk too many people through this.

Same, I have a discord community and it is been impossible to get people to move to Matrix or anything else. The one person who really tried ended up messing up their encryption keys and gave up.

Exactly!! This really needs to change.

Security is important, of course, but it's not like vodozemac is that good anyway...
