Could someone smarter than me explain Matrix to me? In particular,

  • What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?
  • What advantage would it give me over other services?
  • Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that's still fully in development?
  • How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

matrix is for chat rooms full of strangers. signal is for talking to your friends
