*The* main reason for using Matrix for me, apart from with the very few contacts I have already using it, is to have connectivity to as many other networks as possible that REQUIRE a recent smartphone to create or update an account -- Signal in particular.

If I can be contacted via a bridge, then many of those I know who /dont have sms or voice lines and dont email/ can find me and communicate again. If I can initiate text and still-image exchanges to those whose contact details I have, via that bridge, that would be even better. But I absolutely dont want to have to have active accounts on any of those platforms to use the bridge.... or even a recent smartphone at the moment!
