I always liked the concept of Matrix, and still actively use it, but there’s some serious jank.

I use Element as well as Beeper, which is at its core an Element client based on network bridging. I'm a big fan of Matrix, but it isn't as approachable as other messaging services and requires some technical know-how to use effectively.

It seems like the Linux of messaging services.
