> Maybe also what’s easier to convert your friends and family to. You will need to pick a client that you can recommend to your friends and family, because they likely won't bother to look one up. If they are non-technical, then the client is what matters most for them and you need to decide what makes the most sense given their circumstances. On the matrix side I can recommend Element (https://element.io/ https://element.io/) which has a lot of eye candy. I'm not sure what to recommend for XMPP. You also need to pick a server for them, because again, they won't bother to choose one themselves. If you can, host a XMPP or matrix server yourself!
