Matrix Client recommendation?

[Cath O'Deray]

I think listing wikis isn't helpful, unless it's specific to FreeBSD

Many hours were spent on the given wiki page.

for the time being I'll go with the TUI client https://www.freshports.org/net-im/gomuks/ mentioned by bakul, thanks!

No, you should go to the real TUI site and book a vacation, buddy

Something reminded me that I previously had an installation of NeoChat, net-im/neochat.

% zgrep neochat /var/log/messages.2.bz2
Nov 23 06:48:51 mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd pkg[33862]: neochat-23.08.3 installed

Reinstalled a week ago, I haven't had time to look at it.

NeoChat crashes before it becomes usable.

Spoiler: Konsole output
