I use it as a one-stop-shop for messaging. I setup a Synapse server ~5 years ago and since then have convinced many of my close family and friends to join my server (or another). Now many of the folks I want to chat with are regular users of Matrix. For some of my stone-age friends that are still on WhatsApp, I run a bridge [1] so that I don't need to look beyond my Matrix client to see WhatsApp messages. For other random SMS messages, I use the dated SmsMatrix [2] to push text messages so I can see/reply from Matrix. Beyond that, I also use Matrix to connect to several open source communities (e.g. Mailu.io [3]). 1. https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp 2. https://github.com/tijder/SmsMatrix https://github.com/tijder/SmsMatrix 3. https://matrix.to/#/!RJFCFtixHgPhzacdhW:tedomum.net?via=ghostdub.de&via=matrix.org&via=tedomum.net https://matrix.to/#/!RJFCFtixHgPhzacdhW:tedomum.net?via=ghos...
