I’ve been v curious abt matrix but it’s taken me years to get everyone I care abt on signal 😅

Signal is fine for instant messaging.
Matrix is closer to Discord.

Signal is centralized, closed-source, not-selfhostable and requires being attached to a phone number.
Matrix is decentralized, federated, fully open source with multiple client and server implementations, self-hostable, and does not require being attached to a phone number.

Which part of signal is closed source?

Sure, but there is way more metadata with Matrix than Signal.
To be clear, I use both, but Matrix’ metadata problem bothers me.
