matrix
IMO getting Matrix’s UI to work like apps people are familiar with is an order of magnitude less effort than any other option, and possibly an order of magnitude better than other options in terms of meeting the design goal of private messaging.

I’ve been in Signal chats with Tulsi Gabbard’s staff.
And no ofc it’s not that impressive. They used the app during the Dem Primary campaign trail so all the campaign volunteers used it to coordinate.
Back then I thought she would be a charismatic Dem that could win against Trump – when none of the Dems (esp. not Biden IMO) seemed to have a chance.
Back then she was inclusive with her political rhetoric. She was the only candidate on either side whose primary message was:
Respect the other side as people, and try to understand their point of view
OMFG I wish I’d hear that from politicians more often. Or ever.
Please forgive me. I was like 9 years younger back then and Tulsi hadn’t gone MAGA.

If you are not familiar with Stanislaw Lem’s short story “Eruntics”, it is very much worth your while. The concept is vaguely related. Someone posted a fairly high effort amateur video rendition a couple years ago: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LkST-_ktCKU
Gee what happens when fully grown adults who have problems distinguishing between make-believe and reality, take hallucinogenic substances?
