Yeah I gave up on Element/Matrix too, for other reasons.
First of all the clients don't work for shit and every update breaks something IME, got tired of that. Also for all of my normie friends and family it was "too hard" to use, I disagree, but regardless what good is a chat app if I have nobody to use it with? Further, the one friend I did convince to join also joined the public Ras Pi room, and some dickhead posted CP in it, he saw, and then I had to explain "no, this isn't a 'pedo app,' that is spam and they get banned," and I'm gonna be real I don't want to have to do that again and I can't in good faith recommend my mother use a goddamn app that very possibly could spam her with CP.
So, I moved to Delta Chat. Fixes all those problems, no complaints. Easy to use, easy onboarding, no discoverability, just chats.
