@CrinkleSqueaks @Friar hey excuse you both >///>
@tails Yeah, having to associate your phone number is a huge nonstarter for me with Signal .____. My number is associated with so many things that the metadata Signal could conceivably collect would associate me with my broader Facebook and Google advertiser ID.
Honestly, if decryption wasn't so fussy on Matrix, I'd argue the usability is actually pretty decent.
@tails Yeah, the only messengers I trust are Signal and Matrix, and I trust Matrix more because I'm pretty much all in on the federated internet at this point.
I'm so beyond done with Telegram. 
An instant messenger should at least be end-to-end encrypted, yet Telegram treats it as an optional feature with a protocol that hasn't been vetted by anyone but themselves. Meanwhile the app is getting to Discord-levels of nonstop advertising that nags you to buy their subscription service. I get that nothing comes for free, but if I don't trust your security and the only features you're selling me are features I don't want that you shove down my throat anyway, then I'm not gonna buy the service.
Anyway I'm gonna look into spinning up a CubHub Matrix server. I'm tired of untrustworthy corporations and nonstop advertising.
@kassoncomfy It might help meet new people! 
@tails I'm not sure what the best replacement is either. I really like Matrix on a conceptual level, but using it is a bit of a mixed bag.
@Friar took me all of five seconds to set it as my avatar |3

@fleece Or when they "accidentally" put the premium stickers first so it'd advertise Telegram Premium at you for a month
