In my opinion this is the best messager for democracy. For receiving messages while offline you can use Briar mailboxes. I would highly recommend this over many other messagers.

How does it compare to Matrix?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

All Matrix activity is recorded permanently on servers. Yes, encrypted, but maintain a permanent copy.

I have my own server, which everyone I know uses, including the WUI.

Fuck central servers.

But who you message on Matrix has your activity as part of receieved messages

WUI?

Web User Interface.

You can use native app, or you can use the web interface.

It’s much more private with less reach and convenience .
