This is why folks use Matrix. But it still needs a lot of work.

    But it still needs a lot of work.

    And that’s why folks use Signal.

    It’s the most accessible privacy-friendly option. IMO we should be pushing for both things. Signal to implement decentralized infrastructure and at the same time improve existing apps like Matrix.
