The privacy-focused messaging app arose from a fringe culture that emphasized individual autonomy and skepticism of authority. As it tries to go mainstream, can it escape its roots?
A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn’t lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don’t care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.
