Matrix users appear as bots in Slack, and authorised Slack users appear in the Matrix.<\/p>\n<p>Things are text-based for the time being. Hodgson was, however, hopeful that the impending <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/sites\/info\/files\/proposal-regulation-single-market-digital-services-digital-services-act_en.pdf\">Digital Markets Act<\/a> [PDF] would see more APIs opening up and the arrival of VoIP in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Managed bridges for other platforms, such as Microsoft Teams, are also on the cards.<\/p>\n<p>The Matrix project itself is all about secure, decentralised and real-time communication. Messaging is protected by end-to-end encryption, VoIP is present and correct and the reference implementations for the system are Apache licensed. The system can handle pretty much any real-time data, according to the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re familiar with how Git works,&#8221; explained Hodgson, &#8220;we shamelessly stole Git as a model for Matrix, and we thought, hey, why hasn&#8217;t anybody decentralised communication, like Git decentralises version control? And so we literally applied the same technological, technical architecture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Matrix is effectively a decentralised conversation store, with messages replicated over the servers whose users are taking part in the chatting (much like commits in Git repos.) Bridges have been implemented by both the core Matrix team and the wider community to connect to the likes of Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<p>Although users can set things up themselves, running as publicly or privately as required, the challenge of &#8220;rolling one&#8217;s own&#8221; can be dealt with by a hosting platform, such as EMS. While the company is at pains to highlight the security of its solution, hosting currently means AWS, which is one of the main providers for EMS&#8217;s cloud-based infrastructure, and four different geolocations for the servers.<\/p>\n<p>However, Amandine Le Pape, co-founder at The Matrix.org Foundation and COO and co-founder at Element, added: &#8220;We&#8217;re platform agnostic and could change in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"5.840490797546\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Activity on the <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vidAnPoIo2\">https:\/\/t.co\/vidAnPoIo2<\/a> homeserver has been up 5x over the last few days, and we started to get dangerously close to the ceiling on the Synapse master process again&#8230; so we just fixed it with more workers (as per <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zU8x0wVVfD\">https:\/\/t.co\/zU8x0wVVfD<\/a>)! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZiyRMlDjeN\">pic.twitter.com\/ZiyRMlDjeN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matrix (@matrixdotorg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/matrixdotorg\/status\/1351566851122323458?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-md=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YAgk3Cu2fj-gQgfxoYhqtAAAAAs&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YAgk3Cu2fj-gQgfxoYhqtAAAAAs&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>With Slack taking a tumble in recent weeks, and Signal struggling under the load, joining the 27 million on the Matrix network and 60,000 deployments (according to Hodgson) has a certain appeal, with the ability to connect to existing platforms a handy bonus.
