[+] thepompe@ttrpg.network -25 points 1 year ago (4 children) Why do we keep caring about signal when there's Matrix? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jpv2390@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 year ago Because my grandpa can work with signal which is still encrypted communication. Thus its a low threshhold to adoption and significant increase in cyber hygiene. Even for his type of audience. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LiamMayfair@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 year ago Because Signal works and Matrix doesn't. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago Because Matrix barely works half the time and has some significant security/privacy flaws still. One of which is: if there's a bug that makes it possible for someone to snoop your metadata and the fix requires a server update... You're SOL if the people you're talking to don't get the update. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago It took me years of begging and pleading with my wife to start using signal, the setup for which is way easier than matrix. I don't think I'd be able to get my wife to use matrix due to the increased complexity. I have secure comms with my wife (albeit centralized) and that's what's important to me. permalink fedilink source parent
