Matrix
Matrix.org is a secure, decentralized, real-time communication tool replacing Keybase. Bisq self-hosts bisq.chat Matrix team server, which takes a step further on the grade of censorship-resistance and privacy.
Using Matrix
Web interface

Click continue and many Matrix clients will be displayed. Select Element, which is one of the most popular and can be used without installing software. Click the continue in your browser button and the web app Element will load. Click join and create account, as we suppose you don't have a matrix account yet. Next image shows fields needed to host the account at matrix.org. There are other hosts requiring different data to join.
Once the matrix.org hosting account has been created, you'll be able to join and see the General and Support channel.
Click on the + sign on Rooms and then Explore rooms to join other channels like get your first BTC or payment methods.
