This means that every server has total self-sovereignty over its users data - and anyone can choose or run their own server and participate in the wider Matrix network. Even if your server goes offline, the conversation can continue uninterrupted elsewhere until it returns. There is no single point of control or failure in a Matrix conversation which spans multiple servers: the act of communication with someone elsewhere in Matrix shares ownership of the conversation equally with them. When you send a message in Matrix, it is replicated over all the servers whose users are participating in a given conversation - similarly to how commits are replicated between Git repositories. Matrix is really a decentralised conversation store rather than a messaging protocol.
