Who exactly can see a private message on Lemmy? Anyone who runs a server? Or only the sending/receiving server?

And what all is your experience with Matrix? I don't have an account, and imagine I would need one if someone wants to message me there.

    If Matrix were easier to use, I would convert my family to it, but frankly it's simply not there. So we're sticking to Signal for now.

    signal is easier than matrix to get an account and chat, but matrix has better features for gaming, and also doesn't require a phone number on a smartphone, which not all my friends have. i use signal for work, matrix for personal chats.
