Automattic invests in Matrix
Good news!<p>Now if only they can figure out how to make Riot usable with Encryption enabled without pulling your hair out every time you enter a room or chat with non-matching keys.<p>While Riot has a lot of features, it is also not easy for new users.<p>I've tried to convert at least 10 persons and none of them use it any more, citing not being able to figure out how to use it or simply not having the time to waste figuring it out.<p>It needs to be intuitive out of the box, how to contact people, how to find a room, how to chat.
