The majority of my comment was talking about Matrix, which is an open protocol with free software server/client implementations.
- Spivak 9y agoYeah, but they're not that different. They use their own protocol and their flagship client is a web/electron app.
- cyphar 9y agoWhen you put it like that, sure. But Matrix is federated (sort of like IRC but it's "open federation" in that any room can be shared between home-servers) and has e2e encryption. Rocketchat has neither of those features (though it is nice and simple if you just wanna throw up a chat server at a company -- which is the main purpose of the project as I understand). If you want to talk with other people then I would recommend Matrix.
