    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 ?

            So run into first issue. Picked element X. However I don’t have an account. So I’m stumped. Do I need to create a matrix account first ? How do I do that ? Do I need to pick another platform or protocol first and then backtrack?

            Probably a reason matrix is a small community. It’s not user friendly. No chance in hell any of my friends or parents would even bother after the first roadblock
