 +====== Matrix ======
  
 +[[https://matrix.org/|Matrix]] aims to be a secure but simple standard featuring [[wp>End-to-end_encryption|end-to-end encrypted (E2EE)]] messaging, VoIP/Video calls and [[services/matrix/synapse/bridging|bridging]] to other communication protocols while providing decentralization and preserving privacy. This can be done by self-hosting a [[wp>Federation_(information_technology)|federated]] homeserver like [[services/matrix/synapse|Synapse]]. To connect with me, register at another [[services/matrix/public_serverlist|public server]] and join the [[https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/public-rooms/|Matrix room]]:

 +===== Matrix ID (MXID) =====
 +
 +In Matrix users get an unique identifier called [[https://spec.matrix.org/latest/#users|Matrix ID (MXID)]] that consists of an at (''@'') character followed by the username and domain name. The latter is separated by a colon ('':''). For example:
 +
 +<code>@username:example.org</code>
 +
 +===== Room =====
 +
 +The same way [[wp>Intenet_Relay_Chat|Internet Relay Chat (IRC)]] is organised Matrix uses the concept of [[https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/public-rooms/|public rooms]] to represent conversations. To distinguish [[https://spec.matrix.org/latest/#room-aliases|room aliases]] from users at a matrix server they are identified by a ''#'' as first character leading to the following syntax:
 +
 +<code>#room_alias:exmaple.org</code>
 +
 +There's a [[https://matrix.to|web service]] provided by the [[https://matrix.org/foundation/|Matrix.org Foundation]] for linking users, rooms and messages. I've used it to link to my matrix room.
 +
 +==== Discovery ====
 +
 +[[https://view.matrix.org|Public Rooms]] lists rooms that can be joined without invitation and provides information on them, such as member count and topic. Following their links displays a history of messages in this room. An example is [[https://view.matrix.org/room/!xWcGEMuqXbugHatkvF:privacyguides.org|Privacy Guides]], a room for discussing means for privacy and security to protect yourself online.
