I don't understand why my question got reported. I didn't say that Matrix is bad or shouldn't be funded. Even if it's just to compete with other protocols, that alone would make it worth funding. I just can't find enough information to actually understand it's angle. Thanks for those who replied to help explain it. :)

It didn't get reported - it just got downvoted. Downvotes are often unfathomable.

The best way to respond is to look over your comment to see if it broke the site guidelines in any way (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). If you notice something, you can correct it in future comments; if you don't, chalk it up to the internet being weird; and either way, don't sweat the downvotes.

Also, if the downvote was weird, someone else will usually come along and add a corrective upvote (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

Thanks for clarifying and the resources!
