icymi, in the Matrix State of the Union they said they didn't plan on pursuing decentralized social media, but they do hope to make it easier for those ecosystems to use Matrix so they don't have to reinvent what Matrix has already done
Screenshot of The Matrix State of the Union stram showing a powerpoint with the text:
The Future
- We're going to continue to laser-focus on being the best decentralized secure comms platform in the world.
- That means we're not going to purse decentralized social - good luck to ATproto, ActivityPub, Nostr etc.
- It means we're not going to pursue free-style decentralized data replication - good luck to Automerge, Beehive, Local-First etc.
- It means we're not going to build other Matrix showcases (e.g. Thirdroom)
- Instead, we are going to continue focusing everything on building a safe, global, resilient, secure communication network which can be used to build decentralized alternatives to WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Teams, Slack, Discord and friends.
Screenshot of The Matrix State of the Union video showing a powerpoint with white background and black text that reads:
In practice, this means:
- Finish Hydra.
- Fix client-controlled cryptographic group membership (either by MLS, DMLS, or client-side state resolution.
- Improve metadata posture (Pseudo IDs, encrypted state events, maybe leveraging MLS)
- Improving Trust & Safety
- Ensuring that ecosystem-driven features like custom profiles, custom emoji, etc. actually land in the spec.
- Figuring out how Matrix can be used by other ecosystems more effectively, to try to avoid ATproto/ActivityPub/Nostr/Beehive etc. reinventing Matrix.
