Right now there are 4.5M registered users on the matrix.org HS alone, so I’m not sure niche is right ;)

- tacoman 9y agoAn interesting number would be how many GCM/APN devices are registered in the matrix.org sygnal server. All of the Matrix/Riot users I know use private, non-federated home servers, but still rely on the project's Sygnal server(s) for push notifications.
- Qwertie 9y agoPhone number/email verification is also still centralized as no one has worked out any other way.
- kqr 9y agoOnly to the extent that identity servers themselves are centralised, and Matrix lets you run your own.
- acct1771 9y agoImportant to note you're not required to use any of these features....considering sign up takes 7 seconds within the app (and for security... Email is a weak point), I bypassed it.
- acct1771 9y agoBoth are a weak point, when it comes down to it.
- Arathorn 9y agoSygnal doesn't track this, actually. The best figure i have is that right now the matrix.org HS has 125,209 registered pushers - but as sygnal doesn't store registrations in its DB, I don't have an easy way to say how many Riots on other homesevers are routed through it.
