What is Redmatrix?

Red Matrix/Redmatrix was the name of two different roughly Facebook-like Fediverse projects.

This article is about a Fediverse project that doesn't exist anymore! If the text below doesn't properly describe that yet, it should be edited.

The Red Matrix was the very first social networking project that featured channels and nomadic identity and the direct predecessor of Hubzilla, to which it was very similar.

Redmatrix 2020 was an experimental project next to stable Zap. On New Year's Eve 2022, it was officially discontinued and superseded by its own most recent descendent, the code of which resides in the Streams repository, and which is very similar in features and handling.

Both no longer have active instances. The Red Matrix has disappeared entirely. Redmatrix is no longer maintained either; (streams) should be installed instead of it.
