I find matrix incredibly frustrating. From random messages never loading, to missing messages, to random permission issues between clients. I'd love an alternative. I'm curious about some of these suggestions though, I'll check them out tomorrow. Id love to get off Google chat for my personal comms.

as long as youre not uber paranoid/dont need public moderated groups ala a conferencing program like discord, i strongly strongly recommend deltachat, i deleted the account that wrote it but i love this app so much i wrote like a 1k+ word review/advertisement on it a month or 2 ago lol

Better to use SimpleX than Deltachat tbh

According to the article:

Anti-recommendations:

SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder's positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he's also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I've lost receipts to that.

I don't see how that reflects on the project, even more so since you are nor supporting them i any way by using SimpleX, since it's not paid, free/libre and decentralised

It's objectively one of the best secure messengers out there (eight next to Signal and Briar) with Matrix trailing by a bit but still faaaar ahead of most other stuff
