Yes, it's like the fediverse. The "main" server by the developers is matrix.org (similar to mastodon.social), but there are others too. You can also host your own server from different providers as described in this post: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/hosting/

it's a dead channel. those exist everywhere. this has nothing to do with matrix
