I'm enjoying Element/matrix but we just use it for our household group chats.

I tried all of the matrix clients I could find and agree that Element is the best one so far in terms of functionality on par with Discord, plus it is one of the few that has fully functioning desktop, mobile, and web apps.

My only gripe is that they don't allow enough user customization yet. I want to change my user color and I don't know why the colors it chooses for you bother me so much. It's a very petty complaint.

That and the gif support is kinda meh. I assume it will get better over time.
