I'm trying to move my family to Matrix with a self hosted server. It's not easy though because of bugs in it.
Comment on What's the deal with Signal?

The thing is I have yet to see any reasonable alternatives.
Threema is the closest but it’s not free-of-charge, so a non-starter for most of my friends.
The others are controlled by Russia (telegram) or Meta. What else even is viable?

Session, an Australian fork of Signal with onion routing, seems promising.

Session disables forward secrecy for no reason.
Personally, I assume it’s a honeypot.

And it’s Australian - which means all it’s staff are obligated by law to place backdoors into their software for essentially whoever asks provided they flash a badge.
Speaking as one - don’t trust Australians with your security. Ever.

This also disables notification text which is a good choice IMHO as those can be provided by Apple/Google to law enforcement
Didn’t know it was a Signal fork, interesting
