That sounds nice, only bad thing is most people probably still don’t use it.
Well, there are some great opensource software projects that are on the Matrix network. Look at matrix.org :) I host my own server for some friends, just like i host my own Lemmy etc.
Afaik they are the only ones currently who at least anonced that they want to implement the DMA (EU law) enforced WhatsApp chat interoperability: https://element.io/blog/the-eu-digital-markets-act-is-here/

There is a reason for the missing federation outside.

Yes ofc, it was not meant as a critisism.
