It doesn’t paint a very good picture of the matrix protocol. Does the comparison have any merit?

    Matrix has working demos of p2p matrix with their dendrite server, which is matrix where servers are light enough to run on a non server device. That is the ultimate goal and it’s very possible we’ll see it within a few years.

    Matrix is more than anything an open spec for how devices talk to each other.

      Dendrite, a Golang program, compiled with WASM to run in a browser to make the browser act like a mini server and thus connect to other Matrix servers. Its honestly a wonder they got that hot mess working at all, and IMHO this will require a complete re-implementation to ever be anything worth considering.

        Please tell me this is a parody. Matrix was already kludgy around encryption and authentication, especially for rooms. And very kludgy in integrating with other protocols.
