I've been using it in daily chats with friends, and with my gaming groups, for about two years. The end-to-end encrypted, Google-free comms have elevated the quality of our online conversations: We no longer feel the need to self-censor, so we talk more freely about personal matters. When I noticed this, it felt like an invisible weight I had been carrying for ages was finally gone. I'm avoiding public rooms until my Matrix clients support multiple accounts/identities, so open source chats are still on an irc client for now.
