So, I was told to not use Signal, so all that is left is Matrix. And I am not techy enough to have my own server and neither are my relatives, so Matrix.org is the only option

It’s an open protocol, unlike 99% of chat protocols. It’s self-hostable and federated.
It’s IRC’s successor and been around a long time, first popularized by Jabber. Snikket made it even easier to use.
It was also EEEed by Meta and Google to lure users at a given point, with leads some to say “it’s dead” — far from it.
Edit: you may need to ensure OMEO versions are the same across all clients.
Right, but how does that make it better than matrix? it is also an open protocol, and most spaces that i use are on matrix anyway.
attempted to be EEEed is a good sign i guess, since it implies it’s a threat to meta and google though.
They succeded in a way, XMPP lost a lot of users back then in the era when communications where migrating from group-focussed IRC to individual-focused Whatsapp (or their respective walled-gardened messengers).
Better than matrix in the ways [email protected] listed above.
Sounds good, thanks for the info :)
