@Mysteriarch I deeply hope that there will be some connection to Matrix in the future.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Meta says that it will only allow third-party developers to use another protocol besides Signal, “if they are able to demonstrate it offers the same security guarantees as Signal.”
If matrix finally finishes implementing MLS, maybe they could convince meta to use it.
Last time they touched an open chat protocol, they hung it out to dry. That was XMPP. That's why more than half of the fediverse is reluctant or outright hostile to federate with anything meta.
XMPP is used in many, many places. It's just not usually explicitly known that the backend is using that protocol

Meta ... can’t guarantee “what a third-party provider does with sent or received messages.”
I'm more concerned with what the first-party provider is doing with my sent or received messages when that first-party is Facebook!
