Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

Bridges are one of the reasons Matrix is called Matrix: let’s matrix all the networks together! They are key to onboard new users into the network. However, maintaining and operating bridges, in particular to closed, proprietary platforms, is expensive: they need to be kept up to date with any change made by the platform on a regular basis and they’re fiddly to keep up and running.

    Has the funding situation of matrix not improved with EU countries make use of it due to sovereignty issues? If you have to stop development of a bridge to one of the biggest proprietary chat systems out there, it doesn’t speak well of your financial situation.

    At least they started with the most intense proprietary one I guess. I totally understand that this is taking immense manpower to keep going, but it’s still sad to see one go.
