 +Matrix criticism:
 +  * While a //foundation// exist, it seems to be mostly an empty shell and most of the development is done by the company behind Element. This is not ideal.
 +  * The two main servers, Synapse and Dendride, have been moved (2023) from the foundation to the company, this is not good.
 +  * Anybody working on alternative servers get a lot of criticism and negative feedback from the community.
 +  * The standard, while open, seems to be only bound to the company behind Element needs and governance, again this doesn't feel very open and transparent.
 +
 +Overall, i am happy to focus on the advantages.

 A Matrix server is like the home to all your chats. It's where all the messages are stored (encrypted). It's like, say, //gmail.com// or //hotmail.com//, but yours. In fact, you can choose a public Matrix server, like **matrix.org**, or create your own by installing a Matrix server software. A Matrix server is like the home to all your chats.

-There are many Matrix servers around, you can even pick the one you prefer. A very popular one is [[https://github.com/element-hq/synapse|Synapse]], another growing, younger, and promising one is [[https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay|Conduwuit]].+There are many Matrix servers around, you can even pick the one you prefer. A very popular one is [[https://github.com/element-hq/synapse|Synapse]], another growing, younger, and promising one is [[https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel|Tuwunel]], the project that is continuing the now defunct Conduwuit, which in turn is the follow up after Conduit was abandoned
