@mojo @SummerBreeze Conversations is gratis on F-Droid. Standards compliance and interoperability is a lot more important than slightly more rounded message boxes in a walled-garden app, that doesn't give you the freedom to run our own server or choose your own providers.

@Secret300 @SummerBreeze XMPP is the current IETF internet standard for instant messaging. Matrix is a startup with VC funding trying to achieve the same goals as the XMPP protocol, but it's not an internet standard and the underlying ideas of the protocol blow up pretty badly: https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07
It also makes Matrix a very heavy protocol, typically requiring 1-2 orders of magnitude more server resources than XMPP.
They have a lot of money for shiny Electron clients and marketing though.
