Matrix is a communications network.
|
||
|
|
It has a client-server, server-server decentralized architecture.
|
||
|
|
Rooms are synced (eventually consistent) among all servers with clients participating in the room.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Matrix supports "Application Services", which are limited to funcion in a passive mode, meaning they only piggyback on top of the existing protocols.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Synapse, a Matrix server implementation, supports "Modules"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Matrix devs recognize the need for a robust reputation system and are in pursuit of funding and development for that purpose.
