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.
Anything federated is not as popular as major centralized alternatives, but they are just so much nicer. Whole concept smells more of the old Internet which I love. I donate a bit to instances I’m using. It’s better than being watched for everything.

Big L for those institutions, they should have picked XMPP, the open commnication to serve actually everyone.
I dont know if this might hurt them. Zero knowledge and e2ee are cool, but I dont know if they are even allowed to use this.
I only know from the US signal clone that archived all contents.
Matrix is really limited and many issues come from the encryption. It works, but it is VERY different from horror tools like MS Teams.
If all they need are powerful servers that can store everything, Fluxer is probably better already, or other tools.
