Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon

I thought we already had Matrix

We do.

This is for activitypub DMs.

That’s what I mean.
The headline is a lie.

No it’s not. Matrix isn’t part of the Fediverse. It doesn’t use ActivityPub and there is no interop with any other Fediverse service.

That doesn’t make Matrix bad, it just makes it it’s own thing.

ActivityPub isn’t the only way to be federated. Email is federated. Email isn’t ActivityPub. Matrix is no different.
