    Why? It's yet another centralised communication app. Want respect? Set up your own Matrix server. Contribute to open source federated methods of communication.

    At least you're on Lemmy, that's a start.

    i'm on signal because that's the only platform some people use and at least it's not discord (or worse, telegram), but it has given matrix a run for its money for how many times it has eaten my chat history, and eaten my entire account including contact list twice. plus i really would love to be able to create multiple accounts (or multiple identities on the same account) so i can avoid showing people i don't know my legal name and avoid explaining my fake name to people i know irl without using either twilio or google pay
