wxboss,

I completely agree with your assessment especially with how most social media these days really dumbs down the entry level effort needed to participate in discussions.

And to your point, participating on a BBS (which usually requires a more specific interest and consequently a similar engagement level) will generally reward you with a community that is more civil, friendly and worth frequenting.

How exactly do Matrix bridges work? Are they secure?

What I’m looking for ultimately is a universal chat type app like Beeper that can handle Signal and SMS, however, reading this about it gives me pause. It would be nice if I could get all my peeps on matrix, but since it was so hard to get them on to Signal, I think the best I can hope for is something than can handle matrix,...

wxboss,

This is a great point that you bring up. I subscribe to an IRC channel that has bridges to both Telegram and Matrix. My feelings at this point, is that the weakest link is going to be of the most concern. But how all this technology interoperate with each other and how they actually handle privacy/security together is a question I cannot answer.
