    I mean, you can banish it to a browser, a dedicated even if you really wanted to. Matrix is not exactly the most beginner friendly thing tbh

        No, it’s not.

        Even for tech savy people the security settings (i.e. cross-signing and backups) are confusing and Element points you straight towards them, without sufficient explanations.

        Element is (impressively enough) also much more buggy than Discord.

          I find it actually pretty straightforward for a non-technical person. The default settings all work fine. The more complicated stuff is relatively buried.

      Matrix I feel is one of the better os for newbies You just send them towards element.io. Or at least that’s what I did with my friend, when I wanted them to switch
