    We’ve been using Element (Matrix) for our household group chats and it has worked perfectly. That said, I do have a whole ass IT professional in-house to set up a dedicated server so I cannot speak to ease and such.

    I think most people don’t want to self host though. I can’t speak to the ease of signing up and using the available public servers.

    In terms of functionality as a chat program it’s great.
