There isn't one.
Because none of them have all features.
My favourites however are Fractal for desktop and Fluffychat for mobile because they both allow for multiple accounts in one window/app and they look nice, and Fluffychat has features that make it more customisable.
I used to use cinny, but i use fractal now just because its MUCH faster to launch
Nheko is my favourite client, it uses QT and is written in C++, its lightweight and works well on my machines with low resources, it also respects my system theme
Fluffychat on Android mobile. Feels familiar.
Slow as shit tho. I like ittho
Alps will randomly rotate photos for some reason
0 clue what this no permission issue on Spaces is
Cinny because its layout is very similar to Discord
@gwilikers I would use element and I do use schildi but its a bit controversial as a client so element if foss and best is criteria
I like SchildiChat the most, since it has a nice UI and supports both E2EE and calls.
