Isn't Signal still centralised? Why use it over Matrix? (genuine question)
Matrix leaks a ton of metadata and for normal users the clients are still very much in the sucking phase. Signal being centralized changes nothing about its security when the freaking servers can't see anything about the messages. It literally is the most secure way to communicate out there, period.
There's some people trying to run messaging services over TOR, no idea if much is gained from it
