So matrix:// just is a standard URI scheme, seems to solve at least this particular problem for the matrix.org ecosystem. A different problem: While the federated protocols seem to work quite well, there's not enough work on the business development side of it. Or do you know any profitable Open-Access fediverse server?

Why do they need to be profitable? There are plenty of instances that get enough funds to keep things online without any profit motive.

  Infact, if there was some practice, like advertising, that could make an instance profitable, that would be incentivised. Ad-based instances and others with paid extra features that are not protocol-compatible might start popping up, and fedi would be enshittified, just like it's predecessors.

    I don't see the link between for-profit fedi instances ruining non-profit ones?
