Matrix doesn’t have a phone number tie, and you can run your own servers. Calls work fine and if you integrate the Jitsi meet application in extensions, you get full conference ability. Encryption is fine and you need to store a key that lets you access your sessions on different devices, besides your server username/password, but it’s pretty self-explanatory. There’s search for users and you can make groups public and searchable.
I think you should go back and try it, you are obviously way out of the loop.

Phone numbers aren’t obligatory, but you can add them (see the picture I added).
Calls work fine
Are they encrypted?

I have 3 different passwords for matrix. A password, a recovery key, a security key (checked my password manager). That isn’t self-explanatory to my mom - nor me, actually. How many passwords does a Signal user need to remember? A PIN lock so that other’s can’t hijack the number and that’s it?

They also have a new app “Element X” that is faster than the old app, but lacking some core features. For example there’s no way to join a group in the app. Group links don’t work, there’s no “join group” button, there’s no group search, nothing.

I’m talking about Element X.
