Matrix is pretty good, only problem is my friend groups can't seem to make the switch. As in we all want to but we have other groups we talk to on discord so we'd have discord installed anyway, and I think some of us aren't motivated enough to move our server over. I think generally the problem with privacy-respecting chat apps is everyone's on whatsapp, everyone's on discord, few "normies" or even less privacy-conscious communists will want to install a new app/program just to talk to you.
Yup, the network effect is real.
Maybe you can set up a bridge for those who want to switch? You'd still need both until all everyone moves over, but it reduces friction in that process.
That's a good idea! The next time my friends bring up switching to Matrix I'll probably try set us up a bridge to encourage the move
