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://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19365968" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19365968</a><p>I'd say tread carefully given their apparent hostility towards competing server implementations, which is literally the only thing that makes the protocol meaningfully "federated" to begin with.<p>This part in particular was deeply disturbing:<p>> 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 "good luck talking to your own federation." That reveals a lot.<p>Not exactly the kind of attitude I'd like to see from the stewards of an "open" protocol.
