@brayd signal for offline people, matrix for online people
@jacekpoz for me personally it's a mix tbh. Some people I know offline do have Matrix and write with me there. Some other people use Signal. :D
@brayd
None of them. Threema is the only I trust.
@layxiw I personally see the same problem here as with signal: centralized servers, which means I have to trust Threema in the first place because I can’t be sure that the open source server component is really running on their end and not a modified version of it. When running my own matrix server I can ensure that the version I’m running is the version the source code is at due to being able to compile it myself.

@brayd Signal is usable with people who are not that into tech.
It is just as easy as WhatsApp and Messenger.

People do not care (sadly) about privacy, they just want something simple. This is why nobody wants to register with another dumb ID, when there's options that can use something you already have (phone number, emails, etc)
And let's not even start with decentralization... 😞
