🦈 a small matrix server for friends
What is Matrix?
Matrix is an open, decentralized chat protocol — kind of like Discord or Slack, but no single company owns it. You can sign up on any server and still talk to people on other servers, just like email.
Your conversations stay yours. You can use Element or any other Matrix client to connect.
How do usernames work?
Everyone on Matrix has an ID that looks like this:
The username is you — the name you picked when you signed up. The server is where your account lives. The colon just separates the two.
It doesn't matter which server you're on — you can message anyone on any other server. Your server is just your home base.
kate@gmail.com can email friend@outlook.com no problem. Same idea, different format.
Want to join Matrix?
These public servers are great places to sign up:
Spreading out across different servers is what makes Matrix work — and it takes pressure off the Foundation's infrastructure, so they can focus on building the protocol instead of running servers.
I don't care, do as I say !! →
blahaj.club itself is invite-only — just a cozy space for close friends. If you know me, feel free to reach out.
Then choose a client
A Matrix client is the app you actually use to chat — like how you pick an email app separately from your email provider.
