What's wrong with Matrix? I use both, just wondering
The way I see it is, we don't always want anonymity. Sometimes privacy is enough and this is where Signal shine.
It tends to leak a lot of metadata unlike signal which keeps it to a minimum
Late reply, but my main sticking point with Matrix is that it isn't just an app you can tell your non-tech savvy friends to download. I like the decentralization, but most people don't care and want something easy to understand and use
You don't need to download it, there's a web version.
