# matrix.functor.systems

A matrix homeserver operated by functor.systems.

Matrix is an open, federated, and end-to-end encrypted messaging protocol. matrix.functor.systems is our very own homeserver, running the tuwunel Matrix server implementation.

Registration is currently restricted to friends of the functor.systems community. However, you can make an account on any other Matrix homeserver, and interact with any account on matrix.functor.systems without any downside. This is what is meant when we say Matrix is federated. The official matrix.org free public homeserver is a good place to make your first account.
