After careful evaluation and considering the evolving needs of our community, we have decided to shut down the community.wordpress.org Matrix server on January 31, 2025.
With the integration of Single Sign-On (SSO) using WordPress.org accounts on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/., one of the primary advantages of the Matrix solution—simplified onboarding for new contributors—has been effectively addressed. Additionally, with very low usage and no significant demand for Matrix services, maintaining the server is no longer the best use of our resources.
The links to the team chat pages from the Make homepage have already been removed, and we’ll remove the individual chat pages when the server has shut down.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this effort, especially @ashfame and @psrpinto, but also everyone who helped surface issues with the implementation.
Thank you for your understanding and support. If you have any questions or need help transitioning, please don’t hesitate to comment below.
