People available to communicate with is a key metric of a communications platform. All of these services lack a large number of regular people. For better or for worse, Signal is the one with the most.
- Steltek 5y agoIf you self-host Matrix, you can still bridge to Signal while avoiding the walled garden trap and having complete control of your data? If you don't want to self-host, then you must be comfortable extending trust to someone. SaaS Matrix and Signal seem to be two sides of the same coin, in that case.
