So, I kept seeing the option to list a "Matrix" username in my lemmy profile across various instances, but I had no idea what Matrix actually was. This is from last December so it's not hot off the press, but it was a good read and I wanted to share it in hopes it might help add some context for anyone else like me wondering what it's all about!

Enough people are used to the proprietary apps, so it doesn't matter for them. 0,01% of users flowing to other protocols for just part of their conversations isn't going to hurt them.
