      Yes but no. If you have your own server and all necessary bridges installed it would mostly work fine. The problem is this requires quite a bit of server hosting experience which most “normal” people don’t have. Another option would be using bridges hosted by others, but this is problematic in my opinion because you share private information about your contacts with a third party without their consent or knowledge

      Not for all the messengers I use, and some of Matrix’s bridges are commercial as I recall. Certainly Matrix helps me with IRC and Telegram bridging.

          Yes I’m using Jami, Manyverse, YouMe Social, Threema, Wire, WickrMe, Planetary, etc which are generally not bridged. But they do have some good options there.

            Manyverse cannot be bridged easily (it is p2p), same for Jami (unless is used by a SIP account) and Wire doesn’t allow it in their main instance by its ToS (there is an issue asking to allow it even).

                Maybe you are misunderstanding me.

                I point you to that because what you mentioned as “Not for all my messengers” was meant like it was Matrix fault which is not (this meaning was also supported because you mentioned later that some are commercial which is not true for any listed in the Matrix.org list).

                  No, I was just saying that as I know mostly which messengers are covered in the bridges for Matrix. I have many that are not. I know that Matrix has more bridges than probably any other social network.
