Have you seen the Stack Overflow Developer Survey results for 2023?
Of the 83,830 folks surveyed, Matrix is the #1 chat tool in terms of current users' satisfaction. It's also rated as the most desirable among the open source tools listed, but there is a _lot_ of room for improvement in awareness there.
Let's build on this in 2024! 🚀 survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#…

in reply to maybeanerd • • •@maybeanerd Oh thanks for asking! Yes, it appears the author here (hi that's me, Josh) got ahead of himself – thought only the Signal client was open source, but indeed both server and client are open source.
So we're #2 in FOSS and #1 in decentralized. We'll revise accordingly!

in reply to Sebastian "spaetz" Spaeth • • •@spaetz Oof, that's tough! We are so grateful for your advocacy.
This is definitely a sign of the work we need to do to increase awareness! As we get the Foundation more fully operationalized we hope to provide some materials to help introduce more folks to Matrix.
We're encouraged to see universities like TU Dresden and MIT running their own Matrix homeservers and want to help encourage more of that 🚀
