It feels like matrix is the answer to a something I considered a lot a few years back which is that it shouldn’t be on me, the sender, to know what messaging app the receiver would like to use. I should be able to send to some sort of message clearing house and then the receiver can elect the way they want to retrieve from that.
It can be if there are enough clients supporting the Matrix protocol, as it currently stands though most people will just use Element the official client, and those big techs are mostly likely will never going to support it.

Is that about right?
