It looks like a private federation though, so while it's great that Matrix gets adopted more, it seems like every big entity they quote federate privately. Imagine e-mail but only being able to contact your company! It's a bit restrictive...
- Arathorn 5y agoIn practice, what we see happen with the big private Matrix federations is that the users start demanding being able to talk with users on other private federations, and/or the public Matrix network - and threaten to otherwise start using WhatsApp or Telegram or whatever for these sensitive but external conversations. So there is a huge incentive to actually federate properly, and we're talking to pretty much all of them on figuring out how to do so.
- oaiey 5y agoWell, they have very sensitive data they do not want to bleed outside of their controlled bubble (see GDPR). So this gateways will be very interesting :)
- oaiey 5y agoYeah, but the fact you can do that is a big sales point for matrix. This concrete system is intentionally restricted to avoid the risk of data loss.
