Have downloaded the Beeper app which seems to nicely integrate a few of my favourite chat protocols. I noticed Matrix in the mix however.

I’ve heard, obliquely, of Matrix, but just assumed it’s yet another messaging protocol. Would appear that’s not the case though? Where would one get started? Why would I even want to use this vs the multitude of others? Is there an NZ Matrix server? Does it even matter? Why did the last season of GoT go so badly off the rails (oh wait, we know the answer to that one)…

TIA!

    Yes I think so, that rings a bell. Something like that would be cool, I downloaded beeper earlier to give it a go and it immediately wants an email and privacy policy and I assume collects data on what clients you use and so on.

    Something like pigdin that’s just a front end that doesn’t phone home anywhere or collect your data and you just log in through it would be awesome.
