It only sucks because you keep using Element. Its the worst client out there, if you account for "doneness"

And what would be the best? Element is certainly the most popular.

I don't like it at least because it's Electron. I had better experiences with Nheko and Cinny.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Cinny is also Electron

Try fluffychat is more user friendly and with better ui than elements. I used the "every image can be a sticker" feature to move people to matrix.
