Lots of Matrix ignorance here - so sorry if this is a dumb question.
When you auth with Matrix, is that a centralized action (one company / org behind it) or is that a decentralized action (its more a protocol for auth amongst the community of users)?
ie. Is using Matrix for auth decentralized or a different centralization?
- YousefED 5y agoYou authenticate against a Matrix server (the “homeserver”). This can be a server that you host yourself, or one that is readily available (matrix.org is the most popular one). This design is fairly similar to email where you can be @gmail, @hotmail, or @whateveryoulike.com
