This is exciting - I'm looking forward to it.
I've been nerding out a bit playing with Matrix/Riot and Urbit - there's a lot of exciting stuff happening in this space.
If you like what Matrix is doing consider paying $10/month for your own server via Modular.im (https://modular.im/). It supports the Matrix devs and you get your own high performance federated server to use on the network.
Their automation makes it extremely easy to spin up your host so you don't have to manage anything yourself. The default server they run has a lot of traffic so having your own is a better experience, and it helps further decentralize the network (and you control your own server).
I'm excited to try out p2p, thanks Arathorn for being so responsive in the comments on HN.
After Keybase sold out users to Zoom my friend in China and I switched to Matrix/Riot. While the default Matrix server is blocked there if he doesn't use a VPN we can still communicate on others (for now).
One question for Arathorn re:
> "Hooking up E2E Encryption APIs in Dendrite (not that it buys us much in a pure P2P world)"
Doesn't this still matter if the internet traffic itself is tapped? If I'm understanding this correctly we'll still want E2E for things like deep packet inspection in China (or bulk collection by western governments).
