Hopefully the clients get much better. I convinced a few friends to get on Matrix last year... and... boy... it was a terrible experience. Everyone ended up going back to Discord and they probably won't trust another recommendation from me.
Yes I'm waiting until it's ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.
UX is very difficult, unfortunately, especially for open-source projects where the contributors are usually programmers and not so much UX/product managers.
Yeah, but repeated "This message cannot be decrypted" breaks its primary function as a chat app.
It's getting harder and harder to disable their broken end to end encryption by default too.
Look at the telegram client, which is open source and has the best UX for a messenger I know
Isn't telegram a for-profit company?
The telegram apps are open source
I've been very mindful not to recommend Matrix until the clients and protocol become much more stable. When you're recommending platforms to average users you really need to jump in and try it yourself. If too many problems come up just don't recommend. Or alternatively do recommend if you want them to leave you alone :3
