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.
I wish Matrix/Element focused a bit more on their experimental P2P version, released as experimental in 2020 and then left it in the drawer :/

Yeah it’s going slow but it’s not something that can be quickly done and it’ll require some big changes in the core protocol to really work well with p2p

…and not open source… thank you, but no thank you!
Also from their FAQs:
Web3 = crypto
Not a single personal name on their website.
Marked the domain as crypto-scam in uBlock and good riddance. Unironically thank you!
I know non-open source is very likely to be a scam, but I was using it for a month, all the features seams very decentralised. It did not ask for my personal information when registering an account, so seems safe to me, man. Just an advice…
Plus, Web3 does not means crypto only, it means Decentralised, DAO, Smart contract, Data privacy, Anti-censorship, etc.
Are you aware that some of those terms are crypto too?
Uhmmm
