Why do we keep caring about signal when there's Matrix?
Because my grandpa can work with signal which is still encrypted communication. Thus its a low threshhold to adoption and significant increase in cyber hygiene. Even for his type of audience.
Because Signal works and Matrix doesn't.
It took me years of begging and pleading with my wife to start using signal, the setup for which is way easier than matrix. I don't think I'd be able to get my wife to use matrix due to the increased complexity.
I have secure comms with my wife (albeit centralized) and that's what's important to me.
Because Matrix barely works half the time and has some significant security/privacy flaws still. One of which is: if there's a bug that makes it possible for someone to snoop your metadata and the fix requires a server update... You're SOL if the people you're talking to don't get the update.
