> In practice, though, I'd be impressed if you could even find three different circles that are all on Matrix. I haven't found many people who are willing to switch yet over, anyway Kind of funny, but my experience over the last year as been the opposite. Probably because the kinds of communities I am interested in are focused around various FLOSS projects, but it seems like everywhere I look the "Contact Us"/"Get Involved" page for a project linked to their Matrix room(s). Anecdotally, the momentum that Matrix has in the FLOSS space is reaching a critical mass where it will almost be the de-facto communication tool (I am starting to be surprised when I see an IRC link instead...) Outside of the tech world, I agree with you. Adoption of Matrix is tricky, but honestly it does not seem much worse than trying to get your friends to move the MMS group chat onto any other platform (WhatsApp, GroupMe, etc). Only extra challenge is helping them understand what "homeserver" they should use.
