Session
While building a bridge between Matrix and ActivityPub, we found that the Matrix protocol, made for instant messaging, would also also be a good fit for building private (community-based) social networks. We’d like to explain why by comparing protocols. What do they make easy and what do they make hard? What are their social implications? Eventually we will show how we integrate diverse modes of communications in a single interface in our Matrix client, Posca.
