Sable (v2, not legacy) is by far the best client imho
someone on matrix told to try sable, its installing rn, thanks for the suggestion!
Be aware that it's an Electron app, and as such, not really worth installing. just run it in the browser.
I use Cinny for desktop use, heard good things about Sable 2.0 (non-vibecoded version), but I'm not sure they can make a client from ground up in a month without LLM usage, seems suspicious. FluffyChat for android, iOS version is available too. Verifying keys works, no encryption errors but I don't have a lot of 1-on-1 rooms
I don't know much about security, but I avoided using Lemmy on my phone for example, is it safe to use something like matrix on your phone?
A modern cell phone is just another computer with different underlying hardware. The security is dependent more upon the software & OS, and there can be flaws in those regardless of the hardware. Anything connected to the Internet (or any outside connection, really) is technically a risk. Nothing is ever certain.
I guess that primarily depends on which OS you're using on phone and computer and how you define "safe". I find Windows and Android inherently unsafe. Linux and GrapheneOS, mostly safe.
safest- id say, I don't think anything is 100% safe, like on pc i use linux and I feel that's safer than the old ass Iphone I use. Like on a phone they can decide tomorrow "oh btw we are gonna scan your entire phone now just because or record your screen or whatever" while on linux I feel that's not a thing.
but I’m not sure they can make a client from ground up in a month without LLM usage
They didn't. It's a fork of Cinny.
They removed every mention of it being a fork of cinny after 2.0 rebase
I use the default now but am very interested in alternatives. Thanks for making this post!
Element didn't run properly for me, and Cinny sometimes crashes, but the worst is that i can't change the size of the UI, so tiling it with my other 3 windows sucks cause Cinny takes a ton of space, I'll try a few more
Sable. 100%.
