We’re setting up our own Matrix/Element CE and mulling over the non-technical folks’ fumbling trying to figure it out. Going to have to test a lot. Stoat is promising since it has a familiar UI, but we have a large amount of mobile-only friends.
Not even looking at the non-free stuff. This is the shove we needed to finally move off that type of crap.
Forgot about XMPP until reading earlier comments. Will have to put that on the list.
I’ve found it is clunky and bloated myself, but it’s slim pickins trying to cover everything users expect. Hopefully one of these add-ons makes it less… rough.

Matrix is actively user hostile. It’s no fun to use at all.

Commet might be more helpful there than Element, as it tries to replicate Discord’s UI and UX, making for an easier transition.
Nice. I’ll have to check that out. I appreciate it.
XMPP is an insecure mess, even if you try to bolt on the weird encryption layer
That is a non-sense comment. Where do you even get that from? And the “weird” encryption layer is literally the Signal library.
