What is Matrix?
Matrix โ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)
Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications (โclientsโ) โ the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. Itโs also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz
, and you donโt need an email address to register an account there.
How do I join the space?

What is the space?
A collection of rooms (equivalent to Discord channels) focused on various topics. The space is intended for Marxists-Leninists, although baby leftists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers.
