My friends used to use Signal, but we were put off by needing real phone numbers, as well as some persistent errors in the app (communication-breaking ones).
Personally, I'm rather unhappy that Signal isn't federated, and they don't allow third-party apps to use their server.
Finally, the Signal app isn't compatible with my phone. Conversations (XMPP+OMEMO) and older versions of Riot.im (MAtrix) are available to me.
- ptman 9y agoCare to elaborate why newer versions of riot.im aren't?
