Decentralized Chat: Matrix Offers Red Pill to Slack UsersCategory: Data, Privacy, apple
One of the most interesting internet trends of 2021 is the experimentation going on with decentralized technologies. We’re seeing a blossoming of open source, decentralized internet applications — many of them attempting to provide alternatives to big tech products.
Element’s stated mission is to “preserve your right to privacy, in the face of an increasingly centralized internet, and routine surveillance.”
In a separate post on the Element blog, Le Pape noted that Matrix has started to gain “real traction in the enterprise market with the launch of bridges for Slack and Teams (and Telegram and Discord) on EMS.”
A bridge is a server-based program that connects to an external app, like Slack, and makes the Matrix app at least somewhat interoperable with it.
