   So, Matrix is dying. The server is too heavy to run, the protocol is mismanaged , and two of the biggest homeservers (tchncs and weho.st) have closed registrations. Another, disroot, is considering shutting down their HS. At this point, an alternative needs to show up, and soon.

     @brainblasted Meanwhile, the !xmpp community just keeps on going, as it has since 1999.

     @shonpolo @brainblasted If it's proper federated then yes. I'm not sure if it is, though, especially with group chats. There's no protocol anyway, just an "API", so there would have to be some standardization eventually.

     @pettter @shonpolo Didn't matrix.org host the central identity lookup service or something like that?

     @brainblasted Since Matrix is federated, people can still run smaller instances at home on a #freedombox device.

     Free software hardly ever dies. The reference implementation isn't very efficient in terms of system resources. #Matrix usage might pick up again once an implementation with good performance characteristics shows up.

     The French government has officially adopted it for their government communications. And the Matrix team got a $5 million investment recently.

     @shonpolo I raise you https://xmpp.net/directory.php - and I believe there exists at least two other lists. xmpp.net also offers security tests similar to ssllabs.com
