Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox

Because exactly 2 peopleI know have matrix users.
I still use it, and refuse to use Whatsapp, but it takes some effort to get people over to the beautiful FOSS-side

You can set up some bridges until you have convinced others to use matrix as well (Btw. Matrix is NATO approved 😝)

Yeah, you can do a lot of things with Matrix, unless you want to post a gif, lol. The main problem is it’s still far from being as user friendly as those like Messenger, Whatsapp or Telegram. Typical user doesn’t really care about its privacy upper hand or it being federated, typical user see it’s too complicated and nobody uses it, so he’ll pass on it too. Which is sad.

The app is not less user friendly than whatsapp. It is running the server that is difficult, but average joe can just create an account at matrix.org
