now matrix is not a good idea
it doesn't matter that delta chat is smtp internally, it works just fine and the UI is more closer to WhatsApp, Telegram etc.
way better than matrix, that is literally what you should never recommend to people to migrate to
besides, Delta Chat is on a completely different superior level when it comes to resilience, it is not just decentralized but it can also use several servers at the same time so if one goes down user keeps receiving messages
