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.
Mostly true although I’d caution on the use of “profit” here. Profit isn’t the problem that causes this. Growth is. Almost all of these companies grow using investor money operating at a loss, radically cut costs then sell, netting their investors a packet.
It’s when the growth slows that the enshittification occurs (via radically cutting costs).
The only “profit” that matters is at the point of sale for the various company owners that invested.
yea i agree, growth would be a better word to use here
