I always liked the concept of Matrix, and still actively use it, but there’s some serious jank.
I use Element as well as Beeper, which is at its core an Element client based on network bridging. I’m a big fan of Matrix, but it isn’t as approachable as other messaging services and requires some technical know-how to use effectively.
It seems like the Linux of messaging services.
More technological stratification = more divide between the haves and the have nots. This applies both between nations but also between the various socioeconomic classes within nations. IOW, the rich will continue to get richer at the expense of everyone else.
