    I fully admit its probably a me issue, but I couldn’t get Gajim to work properly through either the flatpak or the aur, which meant I wasn’t going to ask anyone else to try. Dino was was fine but unless I missed it, it hasnt had an update in a while and didn’t seem like it was actively being worked on. Dino 0.4 came out over a year ago. Conversations was fine though.

    As for multi-user conferences, I want to invite friends and family to “My Cool Server”, which has rooms they can join for topics like “Books” and “Music”, but I don’t want these to be publically accessible. I want them to be able to join them on their own as long as they are a member of " My Cool Server", which is how Discord works with role bots and how Matrix works with Spaces and Rooms. If that makes more sense.

    Voice and video are also important, which are honestly not great in Matrix either, but they did recently add “Video Rooms” to Element that are persistent voice/video chats people who are members of a Space can join and leave at any time like you can in Discord. “Group calls” doesn’t fit the bill for this if it needs to be manually initiated.

    Happy to hear if I’m wrong about any of that though.
