Sorry, I mean from the OP of course. A little bit about the special features, functions and the company behind it, so that users can categorise the various app suggestions a bit and perhaps also know that there are definitely differences between Signal, Threema and Matrix/Element.

But as a committed Matrix/Element user, I am glad that Matrix/Element is finally a real recommendation. :D

It was and is, all the time (since day one at r/buyFromEU).

The question is: what is it an alternative too? Slack, rocketchat, mattermostโ€ฆ WhatsApp, Threema, Signal.

They got different selling-points and making an account and fiddeling with verifying clients is none of WhatsApp or Signal.

I would like it very much as an organizational chat solution, but I would wanโ€™t to onboard clueless users like my family ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
