Why not Signal? I think that Matrix and Discord are for your circles of "friends" you don't actually know.

- sp4cec0wb0y 8mo agoWell personally, I like to have organized chat rooms or "channels". Matrix is closer to a user friendly IRC client. Signal is great for group chats but some people are looking to have organized chat rooms for their friends. Someone will eventually ask "why not just use IRC?" and the answer is simply: Would your non-tech-inclined friends enjoy doing that?
- fsflover 8mo agoBecause Signal has a single point of failure and actively fights with decentralization?
- lynndotpy 8mo agoI love Signal, but it's not "IRC-shaped" like Discord, Slack, Matrix, etc are. It isn't built to play the same role.
