Everyone is saying Signal, but my family uses a Matrix space (mix of phones and PCs in this case) and it works great. It's FOSS, federated. Truly future-proof.
Yeah. Signal is the most polished, but Matrix is the most future-proof.
And that's not to say that matrix lacks polish, Signal is just excellent in this regard.
At this point I feel the Matrix clients I've been keeping on eye on are more polished than Signal. None of my contacts are on Matrix though.
Yeah? Which ones specifically? I like to keep tabs on Matrix - it's really the most open of the secure systems, and if it's clean enough to recommend, all the better.
I recommend Element web (it has a nice PWA), Element X for Android, and the matrix.org homeserver. They're in the middle of a migration to OpenID Connect which should simplify auth for users. You may wanna wait for that.
Thanks!
Thanks, I'll check it out.
