A German school forked FluffyChat, a Matrix messenger

Looks like they forked _a_ Matrix messenger (FluffyChat, which I haven't heard of before and which doesn't seem to be "the" official Matrix messenger, if such a thing exists) and are running a non-federated Synapse server on the school premises.

That sounds like an overall good idea to me. The client fork might be questionable, but it's clearly targeting a non-technical audience (or, not necessarily technical), so having a low barrier of entry makes sense to me. Kudos to them, hope they can keep it maintained.

there is no "official" client, thats the whole idea.

Because it was created by the same people who created the Matrix protocol.
