I am currently in search of a reliable and privacy-focused alternative to Element Chat that can be used seamlessly across Linux, Android, and Windows platforms. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing some issues with Element Chat at the moment, and I need a trustworthy communication solution that prioritizes privacy, offers ease of installation and use, and ensures reliable messaging. If you have any recommendations or suggestions for an open source alternative that meets these criteria, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Edit: I installed cinny and found a workaround for this issue I was having (https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop/issues/1029#issuecomment-1612284909).

Element is built on top of a protocol called Matrix. If you don't like Element for a UI reason, you might want to try another client. There's a list of them here:

I like FluffyChat, and you can try it out in your browser to see if you like it: https://fluffychat.im/web/.
