Do you have any experience with https://element.io/ ?

Would you recommend it for community management?

Any FOSS project can be self-hosted.. there are alternatives..

I don't remember an alternative. All FOSS are just based on Matrix or XMPP, and both are hard to call good choices. They're overcomplicated.

Xmpp for instance prosody is for dummies

well, it is selfhosted, but only federated, so the server admin can still play a judge and remove accouts, etc.

Simplex.chat has great ambitions, but is very new. Element and matrix is super mature in comparison.

Also with simplex you can not have one account logged in on multiple devices, with matrix/element you can.

I'm not sure simplex can be used as a collaboration tool at all. It has no tasks, no calendar, no roles, no bots. It's easier to use Telegram, or Discord, or Slack

SimpleX looks nice, but I miss mainly connection between mobile and desktop. And threads would be nice thou..
