What’s the best strategy to migrate people of age to use matrix instead of the alternatives? With the implementation of space coming in soon, I would like other people to use this instead of discord, whatsapp, and other insidious applications.

    Here’s some things I personally do to get people on. I’ve gotten my girlfriend and my family over, and I got a group of friends over to Keybase before the Zoom days.

    Do NOT mention privacy/encryption to anyone who doesn’t care about that stuff. Focus on the genuine benefits beyond that: online chat (no iPhone/Android stuff), reactions/stickers/editing/replying, good UI/UX, can message from computer (or have multiple devices in general).

    What do you mean “of age”? Old people? I just set up element for my parents and tell them - I will call you on here. They don’t care where and what it is and they communicate with their friends mostly by phone or on Facebook. I don’t expect those to migrate to matrix or even signal at this point, so I wouldn’t bother with
