That is/was only one of the services they offered, they have an all-in-one messaging app that lets you use a variety of other protocols (though I only discovered this about half an hour ago!)
It’s a matrix clone with built in bridging so you’re only using the matrix protocol technically.
it's not a "clone", it's literally using Matrix protocol with their own servers.
Forks maybe a better word.
not really, it's the same Matrix protocol as other Matrix instances use. the only difference is that they set up bridges and manage them on behalf of the users (something that's possible when hosting your own Matrix instance, too).
