Plus this refusal to allowing Chats to Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger now that EU forced meta to open this up...
I know the devs are not happy about meta tracking everything on their end but why can't this be a users choice to enable communication with no-signal servers as well?
That law is for chat apps that have a user base over like 40M. Is Signal even that large yet?
No and that's why signal can decide on their own if they want to enable chat with other messager or not. Meta has no choice anymore.
Matrix shows me that you can have both secure and decentralized communication.
Matrix does have a lot of unencrypted metadata, though, only the message contents are really private. That is not enough for some people.
