    you can’t even easily do encrypted groupchats on there

    I’m curious about this. You’re not the first one to say this, but it’s been the complete opposite experience for me. The “Create room” dialog has encryption enabled by default. All group chats I’ve been in (where there aren’t any bridge bots to other services) work perfectly well with encryption enabled.

    I agree the UI/UX sucks though. I’ve been waiting for it to get better for a while but lately I’ve been considering just moving to Telegram.

      Right now I’m using Signal for people I personally know and Matrix for some big communities (it’s fine for that). I wouldn’t recommend Telegram because of privacy concerns, though it definitely does have the advantage of a large userbase. But I think Signal has a comparable UI/UX to Telegram so it’s worth making it work
