I recently went with Mattermost because its structure is a lot simpler and doesn’t use federation. Probably more than enough for most small use cases.
I’ve tried Matrix/Element in the past and imo, there’s way too much setup for simple little internal applications, even via docker.
The actual answer will always be convenience. It’s just too easy to be able to smack my thumb on the fingerprint sensor to login to just about anything.
I understand your point on security, but for the masses, it needs to be as frictionless as possible.
And getting someone to use BW over nothing is a massive improvement even if it’s not perfect.
I’ll look into this. Thanks for the recommendation!
