I wouldn't even mention Matrix to get someone started. But this page will lead them to the Web App and mobile apps. By default they will sign you up to the matrix.org homeserver with E2E encryption. It is a great way to get people started. You can then send them a link to your profile or they can find you be email or phone number if you have verified those.
- mosselman 6y agoThank you. What if I want to host my own instance? Can I communicate with people who are signed up at element.io?
- kevincox 6y agoYes, matrix is federated so from the communication side it doesn't really matter who you sign up with you can chat with anyone and join any rooms. What homeserver you pick is really just for the service and how much you trust them with your (meta)data.
- mosselman 6y agoThanks so much for explaining. I will give it another try based on your info.
