I had very high hopes for matrix because of the bridging capabilities but I was sorely disappointed after spending a couple hours to set it all up. Some of the bridges require violating the TOS for other applications, or going into the dev tools to copy cookies. Basically completely unapproachable for non-programmers. Once you have a bridge it's impossible to start a new chat with someone in another app. You need to start the chat in the other app, wait for the matrix bridge to be notified of the chat, and then you can continue the conversation in matrix.

As someone who went to multiple schools for undergrad including brown I fully disagree. Brown is a very libertarian school with regard to the student body. Sure this example sucks but how many people at brown were involved with this decision making process? This feels like a situation where technical administrators who are not in charge of normal student life made a decision which is both highly unusual and clearly controversial. I would say the main people I came into contact with at brown for instance RAs in dorms and my professors and course staff were absolutely understanding, kind, and liberal in a way that I did not experience in other schools.
