About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

I definitely don't think element is the best but yes it's not there yet. Honestly the performance has gotten a lot better but I'm still waiting for VoIP.

I think those were merged quite a while ago, right?

If not element what do you prefer?

[–] Secret300@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cinny or fluffychat

Interesting. Last I tried Cinny it was behind Element. I'll give it a look again. Haven't tried Fluffy. Linux and mobile only?

ye basically, you can use flufflychat in the web browser as well
