Just come across this. Haven’t dug too deep but sounds like an interesting opportunity. I think it can only succeed if it is fully compliant with current systems. Seems to only be mobile clients. No desktop? Are big tech going to permit this to grow? It would shut down a data mining opportunity …

    ON A SIMILAR AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC: Big tech isn’t blocking Matrix adoption or XMPP. Maybe when they’re a bit older, but they’re not currently scalable or robust enough to take on proprietary solutions.

    Actually, they did. Back in the day all the big companies were using XMPP. For a short time it was glorious. And then little by little they started closing it off and/or making it incompatible until they stopped using it altogether.
