[Experience with Matrix?]

Who has personal experience with Matrix and the use of a so-called "bridge" to connect to WhatsApp and Signal?

How long have you been using this solution and why or perhaps no longer? πŸ€”

Thank you for your participation and possibly sharing the post. πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘

@marco I want to know this too, especially for WhatsApp and Telegram.

Matrix works best when talking natively to Matrix, as talking to other platforms like WA or Signal requires re-encrypting data in the bridge. Beeper solves this by running the bridge in the client; other services run them serverside. In practice, both WA & Signal bridges can run stably and are maintained, and many people use them for convenience, but it's never going to be as good as native Matrix, and not all features (e.g. VoIP calling) work over the bridge.

Thanks for your Reply, especially from the main source. πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘

VoIP is something I don't care about, at least in mainstream messenger. 😁

In the long run, I wanna go for a dedicated App for Voice/Video -Calls only, but it's not at the top of my priority list. πŸ˜‰
