discord couldn't care less about user privacy
Discussion
Figured. I haven’t tried matrix before. Is it “normie friendly”?
Part of it I realize is for a privacy focused app to build up the critical mass to even gain normal users…
many organizations use it at a support room. i suggest watching a video to familiarize yourself. it is similar to nostr in that it is a protocol and there are different clients.
in the beginning it is easy to just start off with the main client 'element' and use their server. it is more centralized when you use their server, but it's a good place to start.
you can set up your own server later. as always, back up your keys so you don't lose your chat history.
"The simplest way to sign up and try Matrix out is to use Element, a web-based client. Go to app.element.io to get started - this will allow you to sign up for a new account on Matrix.org, and get chatting right away. There are also native Element apps for Android and iOS."
