So to which messenger should we finally switch to? Telegram, Signal, Threema, Wire or some other newcomer?

  matrix seems pretty good, but it is still young and buggy (at least with the the client that I use, riot.im)

    For some contrast, I find Riot (web and desktop) quite nice and usable these days. There are still a few rough edges, but it's good enough as a "daily driver" for me.

    What's buggy?

      One example is that voice calls only ring on one side, sometimes (on the calling side). Another is that when some rooms get updated, you can get unread notices from the old room and your client keeps telling you that you have new messages even if you don't. Another thing that I think should be considered a bug, is that when you enable encryption in a room and you have multiple devices on the same account, you have to approve all your devices separately so that they will be able to decrypt the messages... There are more bugs related to how the encryption process works and I stopped using encryption because of it (some might have been fixed by now...)

        The encryption things are being worked on. Encryption is still in beta. I think riot fixed that problem with the unread notices. Have you reported the bug about calls only ringing on one side?

  Umpyre is my messaging startup, if you have any interest in checking us out :) We're a little different in that we're trying to solve more than just the privacy issues. We're also trying to solve the spam problem for anyone who receives a lot of random inbound email/messages (think open source developers, linkedin spam, anyone who's an influencer).
