#2Maybe. Not very good PR when matrix.org is having massive performance issues all the time.
What fascinates me the most about matrix is that an org could setup their own federation bubble. Like a big game company would setup a new synapse instance for each studio they purchase and just federate them all together for a sort of DIY MS Teams alternative.

#10I'm surprised Matrix is on the front page as much as it is. I mean, it's cool tech, and I use it myself, but it really seems like it's up there every other day.
Is there an update that warrants this new post?
