Is the matrix user option just to allow for direct messages akin to what Reddit has, but keeping them on a seperate platform to avoid the devs having to replicate federated DMing tech that already exists in another project?
Also, how many of you are using it? What matrix home servers do you recommend?
thanks!
Matrix servers are a bit like Discord servers. You can even use bridges to link Matrix channels to other social apps (like Discord). I probably use about half the amount I use on Discord but largely avoid using Matrix due to bridges occasionally going down
