Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

Highlights include Sliding Sync (instant login/launch/sync), Native OIDC (industry-standard authentication), Native Group VoIP (end-to-end encrypted large-scale voice & video conferencing) and Faster Joins (lazy-loading room state when your server joins a room).

    Okay, help an old-timer out.

    Lemmy :: Reddit

    Mastodon :: Twitter (I refuse to call it “X”)

    Matrix :: ???

    Is it like discord? The olden days of AIM/ICQ/IRC?

        Does there tend to be logical groups for Matrix channels/servers? (Meaning you don’t really just join Matrix, you go to a Matrix instance for Jerjoba support, or other common interest like Hockey?)

          Matrix has a concept of “spaces” for grouping people and rooms into a unit.
