> They took a few different design decisions, but in my opinion, nothing that would justify building a competing solution and splitting the already thin developer community.

I'd argue that the design decisions are key to the success of Matrix. However I do not think that there must be any splitting. Checkout the XMPP Bridge that matrix.org hosts.

As long as there are people like Eric, there is hope :) I think we have more focus than ever before, even within the XMPP community :)



The XMPP bridge means the user communities don't have to be split. The developer communities are.

Is there a description of how to generate an address on the other network? This sounds awesome. A working bridge gets a Matrix user access to the tens of thousands of federated XMPP servers.
