Best Messaging client for pinephone? (arch-phosh)

[ryo]

Sure, I'm not saying we have any trouble with it, but converting friends and family to matrix is more work than i feel comfortable with.

I've used matrix with bridging and that worked great. When push notifications work properly i'll start using a signal bridging again.

It's not really hard to convert people technologically.
All you need is tell them what client to use and how to make an account (or if you run the server, you can just create accounts for them).
I did this with my parents before, and they can use XMPP just fine.
Both are elderly.

I think the hard part is to motivate them to use it at all.
I found pretty much all my friends are unwilling to spend 20 seconds to install a client and set up an account on yet another chat system.
It took quite a bunch of missed calls on LINE (because it requires Gulag services to receive notifications) for them to finally look into XMPP.
