I wish more people used Matrix with me. It really is a beautiful blend between Slack and Signal, except federated and secure.
@ntnsndr How? For example what the solid steps laid for a new friend to follow who is fresh to this...
(I think this would help to say or solidify here now people are watching)
@freeschool Thanks:) You can start using @matrix at the Matrix.org instance: https://matrix.org/try-matrix/
My lab self-hosts Matrix and accesses it through our @nextcloud instance: https://handbook.medlab.host/technology

MOST INSTANT CHAT!
NOW-ISH, Least Painless, accessible way FOR ALL PEOPLE / PLATFORMS / BROWSERS (almost all)...
STEPS:
1. https://call.trom.tf/
2. Enter a room name (lowercase)
3. Login using "tromcall" for both username and password to create a unique public session each time.
4. DONE! send url you're in to friend.
Now you have video / audio / screen share etc already and ready to chat!
URL can be accessed by anyone and has basic interface that even an old person can probably manage to see by icon on the on-screen display...
Let me know if it takes more than 3mins to get in and actually setup to talk ...
...with no extra software - basic browser and WebRTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC)!
