Signal was decent when Musk was promoting it. Then they started throwing in new features without keeping the app functional or thinking about budgeting. So now it’s the worst performing chat app, basic functionality like calls are broken, and they want to monetize the app through crypto to cover up their lack of planning.

Matrix is pretty great, but the clients are still pretty bad, also it’s confusing as hell to anyone who doesn’t understand the idea of federation. I’ve tried getting people on element, but every single person needed help to create an account and get to chatting, and they’ve all deleted the app after a while. Also, did matrix fix that encryption bug that was leaking data if someone connected through a different server?
