An Open Source Matrix web client built to be better for communities than anything else out there

• Currently in development
• Exposes certain channels such that they are web indexable
• Will include features like Chat Glue and communal Digital Gardens

Created by Erlend Sogge Heggen, a ex-employee from Discourse

• Maintains the Commune Blog with great write ups on the issues of the modern web, social media, etc. and how they can be improved (by Commune or related projects)
• Also maintains a Personal Blog about similar topics

The Commune community is very interested in various topics and how they can relate together:

• Federated Identity
• Personal Web
• Digital Gardens
• Social Media
• The common themes here are they want these things Decentralized and Freeform
• They're also building Weird to make several of these more accessible

• @laxla@tech.lgbt is creating Gimli, a federated discord alternative
  • Built on ActivityPub
  • "Guild-based" in ways matrix is not?
  • Will integrate with F3 as well
  • Wants to handle blogging as well
  • Certainly seems similar to Commune's message gardening concept
