I'd love to know what your line of thought is on this (from my pov as the author of that matrix blogpost).
For instance, we tried to propose Matrix as the basis of bluesky (hence https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/18/introducing-cerulean/) - but obviously they went and built atproto instead. Meanwhile, both projects have effectively taken VC funding (Element, founded by the core Matrix team has raised from VCs - although Matrix itself is governed by the independent non-profit Matrix.org Foundation). I'm honestly entirely sure how they contrast together :D
