I don’t think people on this sub use it, but it’s great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

    I use matrix daily, but i am fully aware that i could lose my chats and so its not my primary. That honor goes to Signal (well, actually molly).

      Yeah, I still have a problem with signal. Maybe its because I dont understand how it works. I assume that your data is hosted somewhere since you need to be able to check in somewhere but maybe thats untrue. With matrix I know where my data is, I can look at it and delete it. Thats worth a lot to me.

      But hey, everybody is different.

        Yeah, Session and SimpleX are better for that reason. Signal only hosts data (encrypted client side) until it can be delivered. They have only the registered phone number and last used date but thats it. SimpleX and session dont have phone number registration and so cant give that up either.

          Okay, so signal keeps even less than I thought. Pretty awesome, ngl.

          I‘ll just keep it in mind to see if the others get to a state where it make sense to use them instead of matrix.
