Technology Preview: Signal Private Group System
I really want Signal to succeed. Or rather, I want anything that has decent cryto and is not FAANG to succeed.<p>The problem is not which messaging app I want to use, it&#x27;s which messaging app my friends are using.<p>That said, if I had to choose, I think Matrix has a slight edge in my books because it&#x27;s a protocol rather than a silo. Even though Signal is private and open source, they are hostile towards people running their own Signal builds on company servers, and unwilling to federate with other servers.<p>Essentially, you run the official Signal app on the official Signal servers, or GTFO.
