On my blog (German) you will find a simple introduction to the Matrix network: [Werde Teil der Matrix](https://blog.sp-codes.de/werde-teil-der-matrix-matrix-teil-1/)
## Why Matrix?
Here I want to give some reasons why I use Matrix and prefer it over many other messengers:
* Since the servers are decentralized, the network remains available even if one server fails.
* You are free to choose your server provider and you are not dependent on a central provider.
* Matrix can be used without a phone number or email address.
* There are apps for all platforms (mobile, PC, Browser, etc.)
* By default, messages in private chats and groups are end-to-end encrypted. This also makes it impossible for the server provider to read messages.
* The protocol (the way data is transferred) is open, so anyone can check how it works or develop new apps that use this protocol.
* The encryption algorithms are also publicly available and verifiable. They are not proprietary by any company.
* Apps and servers are open source, which makes the functionality and further development transparent and traceable.
* Matrix supports voice and video calls, both in private and group chats.
