About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure
communications. Matrix Manifesto We believe: People should have full control
over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised
communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their
communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse
securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available
to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.
Matrix is a security nightmare. Everyone should stay clear from it till possible solutions are found for the ongoing concerns.
What are the ongoing concerns ?
Here’s a great and beginner-friendly article on the topic of secure (and private) messaging and why Matrix currently doesn’t fit there:

That doesn’t go into detail on the “server network reliability” and it’s used by multiple government agencies around the world and they likely paid for private audits before they picked it
Which government agencies? You’d be surprised…
germanys armed forced, their health sector, france seems to use it for their entire government as well and some others Icant remember off the top of my head
Use it for public message distribution or internal comms?
