Beeper iirc is the basis for most matrix bridges I use. I‘m not sure this is a good development since I found nothing about their code staying open source which is would be really bad. Another company to try and steal the communities work for profit.
I hope it is going to be ok. Automattic has been involved with matrix before. Time will tell, but I'm more hopeful than afraid.
I hope so too. I bet we‘re gonna see a couple more companies pull that move though since I see a pattern of the world slowly moving towards open source… that makes me vaguely opticmistic. Not because of the companies pulling such moves but a tendency away from proprietary bs.
Quite to opposite. They used to be open, now the app is closed.
