Matrix 1.0 – Are We Ready Yet?
I had a pretty positive view of Matrix until I came across this post and the follow up responses from the developer behind an unofficial Matrix server implementation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=19365968" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=19365968</a><p>I&#x27;d say tread carefully given their apparent hostility towards competing server implementations, which is literally the only thing that makes the protocol meaningfully &quot;federated&quot; to begin with.<p>This part in particular was deeply disturbing:<p>&gt; I can quote the CEO of new vector in an argument we had about the insecurities of the protocol and what needs to be done to fix them where he said &quot;good luck talking to your own federation.&quot; That reveals a lot.<p>Not exactly the kind of attitude I&#x27;d like to see from the stewards of an &quot;open&quot; protocol.
