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.
I keep reading this but… I can’t understand how?
Is there a guide for dumb people or something? Or do I need to be an expert to manage that? Everytime I try to look into it I get extremely confused in a matter of minutes…
you can use free public bridges like https://t2bot.io/discord/ where you invite it to the discord server and to a matrix room then run commands to link them, if you want DM’s you’ll need to either host it yourself or pay a provider to host it for you and it’ll have to be a puppeted bridge which is against discord ToS just FYI
Ok, thanks for taking the time to help but it is still beyond my level of comfort… 🤷♂️
it’s complex to make dozens of technologies work together under an umbrella (Matrix). Particularly when those technologies have a vetted interest in not being interoperable.
There are companies that provide an offering with Matrix, e.g https://www.beeper.com
