![]() In my early days I had already signed out of the main device, and so when trying to sign in on a new one, there was no way for me to authenticate, or prove, that the new device was me because it wanted the original device to approve it. Ok, fair enough, I'm certain I won't, but what about your chattees? Also, this higher security means, for me at least, that when I go to sign in by another device, I have to scan QR codes and a few other steps to ensure it is me. ![]() Now, what follows may be off a bit in details but let me try: You can ask Matrix/Element to encrypt the convos end to end, but it gives several warnings that if you lose the key or other sign-in mode, you lose the convo. You might post a response to something in the wrong channel.īUT, even though I promoted Matrix/Element, one weakness stands out for me (for M/E), and that is how it handles its security. That might be nice, but then you'd also have to jump from Channel to channel. I was just checking mine out again and see that the Channels, or rooms, would be a nice way to silo your social circles, and they would be none the wiser that there are other convos going on. Mattermost is nice, but has the same feel as Rocket.Chat. For individuals, I think what's most important is the client apps and having them butter smooth and flashy stuff which Rocket.Chat mobile apps are not. Rocket.Chat targets teams and business and has gazillion features targeting them. I think Rocket.Chat is probably not a great fit for personal messaging though you can make it work if the individuals involved are "accomodating". We still use jitsi for all customer calls. We switched to a selfhosted Big Blue Button at around that time and have stuck to that since. But during the start of COVID, their hosted version had trouble keeping up (I guess lots of traffic). The jitsi integration inside Rocket.Chat often broke. The mobile app can be flaky wrt push notifications but we don't need it. ![]() When we started out, we also used it for Live Chat on the website, though we have removed now. We mostly only use it for text messaging. We have been using Rocket.Chat for 3-4 years now and like it. I can't speak for Element since I use it sparingly.
