This is just part of the problem. Matrix is the network, but clients you use are dozens with different names like Element, FluffyChat, Neochat, Fractal, heck even Thunderbird supposedly supports Matrix. And then a huge problem with this is not every client supports every Matrix function. Like end to end encryption? Half of the clients doesn’t even support this main selling point.
Does anyone else get XMPP/jabber vibes from this? Wasn’t this part of why jabber never really got adopted en masse?

So is it user friendly to non devs ? I haven’t been able to find information regarding it.
Any suggestions for using matrix ? Is it useful or nah ?

It’s not hard to use, but it’s not as “idiotproof” like whatsapp or messenger. Once you have it installed and created account somewhere like matrix.org, it’s quite simple.
Main benefit is you’re not feeding advertisment privacy intruding behemots with your data by using matrix.

Ok that’s helpful. Anything you suggest? I pick a client and get my partner to do the same and that’s it ? Then I start to get other people, my family and such to use it as well. Slowly and surely. Like with WhatsApp.
Then do they sell to highest bidder and I start over again or ?
