I'm ready to jump over to Element (/matrix). Anybody else?

We were considering moving from Keybase to Element for a group I’m part of, but the iOS client is bad. Lots of UI bugs that make it borderline unusable. The Android client seemed fine, but iOS is the lion’s share of our membership so the state of the iOS client makes Element a hard pass.

Already there, feels awesome. Just add bridges to all your apps and now you need only Element.

I'm already on matrix. It's decent.

Fair enough, I'll act differently next time.

Appreciated!

Shame upon me?

Why?

Because I like matrix?

I scarcely used it in the past year. And I haven't really used Element at all. ...what's wrong with considering doing so?

I can't convince my family to switch over when the UI is so shit.

fluffychat and nio both have good apps similar to whatsapp/telegram
