    I'm in a network of 3 users now. We are exploring its options.

    It seems to be kinda like a utilitarian cross between DeltaChat
    and Discord.

    I get that the "de-centralized" thing is nice, but what about using a self-hosted server like Matrix-Synapse homeserver? The Matrix clients, like Element, are pretty decent and good enough for modern people's desire for emojis and stickers and crap. It also has a pretty cool CLI client called Gomuks I think it was.

    I am on the Matrix system using Element for my desktop UI. I
    can't use it on the phone 'cuz my Blackberry (Android 4.3 max)
    won't support it.

    I don't know what a Matrix-Synapse system is.

    But Briar operates very nicely on the phone. It does NOT do
    sticker stuff/craft, but it does support a modest handful of
    emojis if desired.

    I believe that Briar is *only* available as a smartphone app.

    Self-hosted version of Matrix, so you don't have to use matrix.org's servers.
