      @ksynwa I think it’s just because so much of the open source community really went for it after one of the biggest IRC chats fell apart. Matrix was there at the right time to pick up the pieces AND the audience that gravitated towards it were exactly the techy types that most commonly latch on to Federated stuff in the first place.

      Matrix also has incredible moderation abilities if you configure proper bots, and is very Discord like with guilds, plus no 8 MB media upload limit nonsense. But there is bloat as well compared to XMPP.
