I've been following the Social Linked Data project on Gitter for many years. Well now, all of Gitter is migrating to a new platform, Element. Element uses the Matrix protocol, "an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication." It's similar to, but different from, ActivityPub. So this prompted me to finally create a Matrix profile; I'm @downess:matrix.org ('downes' was taken, or was an earlier profile I created, I don't know). Here are other Matrix client applications. A good way to think of Matrix is like an open-source distributed Slack application, where after you join up with a client like Element, you open one or more 'channels' (like the SoLiD channel I'm following). I've created a Matrix channel for OLDaily, #oldaily:matrix.org
