@hehemrin the decentralized nature of Matrix makes it much more resilient. If the Signal servers are switched off, no communication is possible anymore
But contacts discovery is very complicated on a truely decentralized system. That makes the first minutes in the app very hard for non tech (how can I know which of my contacts are using Matrix?)
Also the UX/UI of Signal is amazing, especially compared to other FOSS
So, as someone pragmatic who wants people to leave whatsapp, I recommend Signal
@fla Pragmatism is often important! I am interested in privacy and security, I indeed know some but is not at all an expert. In reality, it mean I use SMS, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, LinkedIn messenger, and probably more. And I do also use Signal and Matrix, but not so often, because the primary goal is the communication with the specific person. But when I can choose, and nudge other, I prefer one Signal and Matrix, of those above. That is shortly my background to the question.
