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.

Had me at Matrix sucks, then lost me at Fluxer

fair enough. but most of what we use matrix for is chatting, meme channels, and gaming. and the voice features on fluxer are better than matrix, especially since not all matrix clients even support voice.

Try Sable, a new matrix client. Its voice features made me start using Matrix for gaming, recently.

OK, Sable is fucking amazing. there's like three other people on the FAF matrix that are using it now, thanks for the recommendation!

Glad you liked it!

As a person who just switched to it (I've been daily driving it on my phone/PC for the past couple weeks) I'm also really enjoying it. The devs are very active, definitely worth following their space.

I'll check it out

Why not Movim? A lot more history; a lot less vibecoding.
