I can’t use them because I can’t convince anybody to switch with me. I talk to most people on discord and I’d rather move to using Matrix, but I can’t convince any of my friends or family or anyone I know to use anything else.

    I use Matrix with bridges to Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack.

    That means a single app that I can communicate on multiple platforms with.

    My main conversations happen natively on Matrix but can also talk to “normies” on any of the others.

      This is my dream setup for messaging as well. My problem is that I would not trust 3rd parties to host this setup, but I also have not gotten around to setting it up myself lol.

      Self hosting? I just grabbed Element X Matrix client from F-Droid. I run a TrueNAS setup at home. I like this idea and will be researching it over the next few days.
