The simultaneous drawdown of antitrust enforcement and growth of tech meant that tech's long-standing cycle of renewal was ended. Tech companies that owed their existence to their ability to reverse-engineer incumbent companies' products and make #interoperable replacements and add-ons were able to ban anyone else from doing unto them as they did unto the giants that came before them:

We are pretty sure that when they say "#interoperable", they mean with other bots.

Oh, and let's no forget three-letter-agencies.

Very constructive roadmap discussions last Friday during the 3rd #SEMIC workshop in Ghent, Belgium for #interoperable #Personal #DataSpaces. One of the topics is working towards a common view around roles and how those roles interact (in transactions)

So what is Matrix (or The Matrix)? The introduction page says:

"Matrix is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication over IP."

So, anyone can run their home server, create as many spaces as they need or join the others. And connect to any number of communication channels with a bridge, be it WhatsApp, Slack or mobile messages. That enables all the communication to happen in one place.

I have used it from the account created on a public server. But I will set up a server with Docker this weekend and start playing with it. There could be lots of room for improvement, and I could face some issues -- but the community must be looking for open-source lovers to contribute to testing and feedback to improve.

I urge all open-source lovers to try it once, and I will put it on the list of software I advocate.

I do use 8+ methods/apps for my everyday chat communications. And most people working directly or indirectly in the IT or digital field do the same.

-- WhatsApp for friends and family
-- Slack for clients and old tech and social communities
-- Discord for new communities and new age techie
-- Signal for those friends who like privacy
-- Skype for calls with my old colleague and clients
-- Facebook Messenger for friends made on social media
-- And sometimes IRC, or GTalk, or Instagram Messenger, or Telegram etc

So last year, when I came across Matrix protocol, I felt much relieved. I knew then and there that I had found a very excellent and valuable tool for me, which I can run myself cause open-source, and I have fun doing so.
