This is a really interesting use of the protocol and looks very cool, congratulations!

I am curious how this experiment fits with the longer term goals for the project. Do you see Matrix as a social media protocol in addition to chat? If so, do you have plans to integrate with the fediverse/speak ActivityPub?

Matrix is a generic realtime data sync protocol, so yes - we always built it with general social media uses in mind as well as chat (as well as VoIP, VR/AR, IoT etc). Hopefully someone will build an ActivityPub bridge now that Cerulean exists! :)
(more importantly, surely we need a HN bridge!)
