Let’s see if this finally gets people to switch. Remember to warn them about Telegram (not private and not EU friendly).

    It’s funny how they write this blog post. They try to explain how they serve ads in 3 different flavors and it’s all to help you find what you need !

    And I am still the annoying tinfoil-hat-wearing asshole how doesn’t have WhatsApp.

      Matrix sucks! At least suggest something that has even half the features a modern Messenger needs and not this buggy hell of a protocoll with the usability of an airplane cockpit!

        If you want a EU-based messenger I suggest Threema. The key-management aspect of it is kind of annoying, but it’s still leagues better than Matrix in terms of feature completenes, usability and just general polish.

        Matrix in its current state is a toy for nerds who are ready to dive into the jankiness and can spare the time to fix their broken messenger every once in a while. Amd the best part is, Matrix itself isn’t even usable. It has no UI, it’s just the protocoll. So you need some third party app to be able to even use it. And not a single one of these apps implements all of the features of the protocoll.
