Do any of you guys use Matrix? It's an open, decentralised, end-to-end-encrypted communications network that seems to be avoiding the problems Tox faced due to being completely distributed. I guess it could also be thought of as a big step forwards from XMPP.
>FOSS, both the server and the official client (Riot), uses a double ratchet encryption protocol like Signal and Wire, and the encrypted protocol libray is audited, although the end-to-end encryption feature is still in beta
>You can host your own servers, federate between servers, and have group chats across servers, or just use the official server
>Has 'bridges' that bridge between other networks like IRC, XMPP, Slack, Telegram, Gitter, Discord, etc
>Has voice and video calls, although you can't encrypt group calls yet
>Web client, desktop client, mobile clients
>Really useful even if you just use it for IRC, keeps you connected without the need for a bouncer or anything

I used it for some time, but all the public channels are dead. and I didnt find any good private ones. so yea

Friends host their own, it's ok. Definitely needs polish, Rocketchat by comparison just in looks and functionality is much more appealing.
Though for VOIP we just use Mumble.

I would if the F-Droid version of Riot didn't use pull notifications, and also the always-on notification is annoying.
I wish I could switch especially now that my favorite XMPP server has gone offline for an unspecified amount of time.
