If you can.actually get people to switch, you should look into simplex chat. It has a lot of really good features, you can run a CLI application on any servers you might have to send you notifications really easily, and it's being rather actively developed. A quick look at their website will show you how dedicated to privacy they are.
@ips@constantokra fair enough but doesn't come anywhere close to Matrix though. Matrix is meant for privacy while simplex is meant for privacy + anonymity.
Well, I use and support both. Matrix is also coming along nicely. But SimpleX is already very usable for everyone as a mobile messenger, that does everything you’re used to from years of other apps. Very clean UX for me.
