There’s privacy and then there’s user experience. UX on Matrix is awful. Not to mention Matrix collects all the metadata, and the vast majority of it sits on a single server (matrix.org), which is owned by a private company and subject to subpoenas.

open stuff scares people. plus with messengers, we’re kind of bound to what our friends use. I’ve been slowly converting friends to Signal, and but people are very reluctant to change when the thing they have already works. Can’t imagine how much friction I would hit with something like matrix.

How slow friends are blows my mind. Like a cool new app they is secure and private?! Who wouldn’t jump on that?! I tell everyone" I don’t do SMS. Signal is the only way to get a hold of me. If you have a more secure app I’ll look into it. "
