  If Matrix were easier to use, I would convert my family to it, but frankly it’s simply not there. So we’re sticking to Signal for now.

    At this point matrix no longer makes any fucking sense. Signal and self hosted fluxer both handle the two levels of social/chat apps better then matrix ever could.

    Matrix just suffers massively from the classic open source problem of “what the actual fuck am I”.

    signal is easier than matrix to get an account and chat, but matrix has better features for gaming, and also doesn’t require a phone number on a smartphone, which not all my friends have. i use signal for work, matrix for personal chats.
