Can we get a Matrix Space for Pawb.social

I know that we have a telegram chat for announcements but I think it would also be a good idea to also have a matrix space where we can also get announcements and maybe even also chat and get support.

One of the reasons I think we should is that not everyone has Telegram and it requires a phone number to sign up to, but a lot of people have Matrix and even if they don't it's easy to sign up to. Another reason is that telegram isn't a great platform due to it being a centralized corporate platform which is now allowing/forcing ads on it, some of which for very sketchy blockchain services, which obviously isn't great and is a pretty big reason people would want to avoid it.

(I posted this from #Mastodon so it could reach further and also so I could mention people).

@frosty I'm usually all for self-hosting but here I think that the best thing is for it to be on a de-facto server like Matrix.org that way it'll be available in case our servers here are offline or not working for whatever reason. A self-hosted matrix server might not be available in such an outage, and therefore wouldn't be able to provide during the outage (which is important for receiving updates about the situation).
