Matrix doesn't link up with Signal. The Signal devs have emphasized time and time again that they don’t want any third-party applications talking to their servers. While there does exist some outside software that connects to Signal’s own infrastructure without Signal’s permission (e.g. signal-cli), that is only tolerated because those third-party apps have very few users.
- 3np 6y agoWhile you’re very correct about Signal’s hostility to third-party clients, there is a decently well-functioning Signal bridge for Matrix (using signald under the hood). They very well might sabotage that, but it does link up today.
