If Linux can beat Solaris/IRIX/HP-UX/AIX etc, so can Matrix beat Discord.

I'm sure you've thought about this, but haven't seen it said by anyone involved with matrix:

IP, the Internet Protocol, was originally created for connecting networks (inter-network) using other protocols together (IPX, AppleTalk etc.). Once everyone supported IP and their own protocol everyone started using IP and the other protocols fell out of use.

I'm hoping Matrix & bridging will have the same effect. Matrix used to bridge. Then matrix used with bridging declining until nobody needs to bridge.
