Anyone out there using come across https://Matrix.org FOSS secure messaging platform?
I’d never heard of it before today but came across this article
- https://matrix.org/blog/2018/04/26/matrix-and-riot-confirmed-as-the-basis-for-frances-secure-instant-messenger-app/
We’re incredibly excited that the Government of France has confirmed it is in the process of deploying a huge private federation of Matrix homeservers spanning the whole government, and developing a fork of Riot.im for use as their official secure communications client! The goal is to replace usage of WhatsApp or Telegram for official purposes.
It’s a unbelievably wonderful situation that we’re living in a world where governments genuinely care about openness, open source and open-standard based communications – and Matrix’s decentralisation and end-to-end encryption is a perfect fit for intra- and inter-governmental communication.
Seems that more than a few people have indicated they are moving to https://about.riot.im/riot-is-free/ eg. https://blog.status.im/were-moving-to-riot-for-safer-decentralized-collaboration-df54af3db2ef from Slack/Telegram etc but i’m unable to understand why SPAM that’s happening on Slack/Whats App isn’t just going to move across?
I am also particularly interested to hear what peoples thoughts are on their VR conferencing offering - https://matrix.org/vrdemo/#/room/#vrvc_worried-plankton:conf.matrix.org and how it compares to other solutions they’ve tried.
Cheers,
Dean
