There's some drama re #GlobalSwitchDay and #fosdem. Where should we be telling #WhatsApp users to switch to?
#matrix or #signal or #xmpp or #SimpleX or somewhere else? I'm not a super geek but I really don't like centralization. Matrix works great for me. it lets me take "live calls" on my podcast/stream. and set up rooms/groups. IDK. It's hard enough to get normies to join us here but especially if we don't agree on where to go. ugh.

True, and the solution is obviously promoting xmpp right?
(it is impossible to agree, thats is all I want to demonstrate, same with what desktop, WM, Linux flavor to switch to...)

@wjmaggos I consider myself very tech-savvy, but even I struggled with the complexity and UX of Matrix and Element. Maybe there are better clients than Element, but if I can't understand it, how are people like my mom supposed to?
So I'd say things have to be super simple to use, and that only really brings Signal to mind, even if it's centralized.
