      Not as feature rich, quite buggy, inherently more private but also less usable.

      The above compounds when trying to get the non-techies to use it, because sometimes it doesn’t just work

        Started running a homeserver recently, trying to get non-techy friends to join, can confirm this is difficult (the main one right now being people using old software on their phones, one friend was running iOS 14 for crying out loud)

        Once set up I find it OK as a user

      I made a few friends switch earlier this year and for our use case it works

      Minding we only need a text chat during the day for shitposts, cat GIFs, and the occasional “Gaming tonight ?” “Fuck yeah” “For the Emperor !”

      Then we use it for voice chat during the gaming session

      To be honest, I don’t think we could have switch if they weren’t a bit tech-savvy and willing to struggle a bit with the encryption at first (but now it’s setted, it works with no issue)
