        Originally a federated E2EE alternative to IRC. But it can replace any instant messengers (Discord, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, ICQ, Jabber, etc.).

          Does “replace” mean I can use it to communicate with people who are on any of these apps?

            Sorry, by ‘replace’ I meant ‘use as an alternative’.

            Matrix has bridges, but they have to be configured on a backend (instance) and I don’t know any instances that allow them at no charge.

      Why is it dying? Is matrix as easy to use? telegram is very user friendly but matrix from what I remember has you use servers or something else and it gets complicated for normies

        Bro, it’s same as lemmy. In few years it will be more advanced, and users too. Why bigger communities risk to be banned on telegram? Maybe more better to host your community on matrix?
