      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.

        Sure, but there is way more metadata with Matrix than Signal.

        To be clear, I use both, but Matrix’ metadata problem bothers me.

  Don’t rely on any company keeping a service running unless you’ve got a contract with them
