I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.

For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don't really like any of the clients.

@cbarrick How many clients exist for Zulip?

[–] cbarrick 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

For Zulip, I've only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.

For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it's... fine I guess.

@cbarrick I mean even if the official Zulip client was the best client, I would still prefer to have the freedom to choose from a wide variety. It shows that the ecosystem exists, not just one potentially walled garden again.
