About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.
Matrix Manifesto We believe:
People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.
Here’s a great and beginner-friendly article on the topic of secure (and private) messaging and why Matrix currently doesn’t fit there: https://proton.me/blog/whatsapp-alternatives
That doesn’t go into detail on the “server network reliability” and it’s used by multiple government agencies around the world and they likely paid for private audits before they picked it
Which government agencies? You’d be surprised…
germanys armed forced, their health sector, france seems to use it for their entire government as well and some others Icant remember off the top of my head
Use it for public message distribution or internal comms?
internal comms I think
That link says nothing of the sort! It actually says that Matrix is a strong choice for privacy and the underlying protocol follows best practices for security.
What are these security concerns you’re talking about?
Thanks !
