About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

"Slow" in what way? I, and a few other people have been using it as a replacement to Slack for the past 6 months, and haven't noticed it being slow. We're just using the matrix.org server. Only downsides I've seen is it doesn't have all the features Slack does (but I have never used them anyways), and search sucks (which is understandable because it's encrypted).
