Already there, feels awesome. Just add bridges to all your apps and now you need only Element.

I can't convince my family to switch over when the UI is so shit.

We were considering moving from Keybase to Element for a group I’m part of, but the iOS client is bad. Lots of UI bugs that make it borderline unusable. The Android client seemed fine, but iOS is the lion’s share of our membership so the state of the iOS client makes Element a hard pass.

I'm already on matrix. It's decent.

  Shame upon me? Why? Because I like matrix? I scarcely used it in the past year. And I haven't really used Element at all. ...what's wrong with considering doing so?

You switched to it for some family communication (have some of that real usage cred) but today: > I'm ready to jump over to Element (/matrix). Anybody else? So either you didn't really use it three years ago and were dishonest or you did but then you are dishonest today.
