sounds kind of like element now. its more a chat based app but my understanding is DMs are P2P, not sure about rooms.
That’s not quite right. It’s hard to wrap your mind around. Basically every person in the network is a router for the entire network, kinda like the blockchain. You keep a microblog, and it just gets passed around like a trading card to all other people P2P. Unlike matrix, it’s not chat, it’s publishing. It can work even if the internet is down via LAN.
