Apologies to everyone I pressed into quitting Messenger to switch to WA in the 10s. Hopefully I'm not repeating the same error in the 20s, but with WA->Signal. 😞

Signal is better than WA (from privacy point of view) but it's still a centralised service. I am personally a fan of xmpp but since I was never even able to convince anyone to switch from WA to Signal, convincing people to switch to a federated service is even tougher.

On the other hand, switching messengers once every decade should be fine, I think. We did switch from ICQ/AIM to Yahoo! / MSN messenger, then came Skype, then WhatsApp. I think Signal should be good enough for this decade.

There's also Threema, Swiss based, but it has one-time payment, so most people wouldn't like it.

10s were the decade of signal. In the 20s, Matrix is the better choice.
