It’s a matrix clone with built in bridging so you’re only using the matrix protocol technically.

it's not a "clone", it's literally using Matrix protocol with their own servers.

Forks maybe a better word.

not really, it's the same Matrix protocol as other Matrix instances use. the only difference is that they set up bridges and manage them on behalf of the users (something that's possible when hosting your own Matrix instance, too).
