I think we need different app/server as matrix servers depend on one software ig., matrix engine. Imagine if theres vulnerability it will affect all matrix servers.

Matrix is a protocol, so there can be multiple Matrix home server implementations.

There's already three: Synapse (python, main implementation with full support), Dendrite (golang, beta level feature support), and Construct (C++, alpha/beta feature support, fully third party).

There's also a Rust homeserver called Conduit (https://conduit.rs)

While synapse is the main reference implementation, there is also dendrite (getting very close) and at least 4 other actively developed Matrix homeserver implementations.
