It does indeed solve a part of the problem. > There is no single point of control or failure in a Matrix conversation which spans multiple servers: the act of communication with someone elsewhere in Matrix shares ownership of the conversation equally with them. Even if your server goes offline, the conversation can continue uninterrupted elsewhere until it returns. https://matrix.org/ https://matrix.org/ So right now, if you're trying to message someone via either whatsapp, facebook or instagram they will all fail, most likely because of the same issue as they are run by the same company. If you were on Matrix, you would for sure be able to find a way of reaching this person even if servers go down, that's the entire point of federation in the first place.
