How is Matri not Free Software though? Apache-2 is Free Software by the
FSF.
Also this review fails to mention how Matrix has been growing this year
expotentially.

There are already a lot of servers and growing. Gnome and purism and
Kde have their own instances outside of this too.
Also here is the list of at least 5 servers alternative to synapse.

Plus Matrix is working on p2p. So you won't need a server.

Also the encryption has been through security audits:

And they want to upgrade it:

I'm not arguing that it is better than Omemo. But it is good encryption
with future upgrades.
I really don't get about Matrix not being Free Software though. Gnu
Specifically says Apache 2 is Free Software.

If you mean the integrations somehow, that are optional then I ahve
some news for you about Firefox.

[7]https://wiki.404.city/en/XMPP_vs_Matrix For me XMPP does so many
things, we create business with XMPP, we have all personnel within XMPP
coordination, and we use our own servers and domains, and XMPP work
well in worst network conditions as by the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
in Uganda. Most important it is free software in terms as in freedom,
we are free to distribute it, and we gain good communication, secure
private network line without spying from third unknown parties. Jean
