About Job Machine

Job Machine is a private chat community built on the Matrix protocol. What started as a simple chat among coworkers outside of work continued to evolve and grow into a community of people. We are primarily technologists, but we discuss a myriad of topics including film and music, politics, financial advice, and any of our various hobbies and interests.

At our core we are a genuine social network of people with similar interests who help each other out.

Job Machine is privately operated and requires invitation to participate.

What Is Matrix?

Matrix is a protocol, a language for programs to talk to each other that facilitates chat, voice and video calls, and many other forms of transferring information back and forth.

  • Open Source

    The protocol and the software used are all fully open and auditable. You can even submit your own changes, or run it yourself.

  • Distributed

    If Job Machine goes offline, the conversations live on all other servers that participate in them.

  • Federated

    If you have a matrix account somewhere else you can still participate in Job Machine conversations.
