Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.

  • Signal is great for one on one conversations or small groups. Matrix is better served for communities as federation offers censorship resitance, but they collect some metadata that Signal doesn’t. They do have encrypted DMs, but it’s less user friendly than Signal and if your partner is not tech savvy, I would go with Signal.

    Signal has 2 points of concern:

    • Phone number requirement
    • Centralized server (one point of failure)

    I use both for different groups of people. E.g. My Matrix account is publically listed on my Lemmy account, but my Signal one is only given to people I trust to some level.
