Not sure why Signal gets all the attention when Matrix is much more successful at spreading open source messaging and is also decentralized.

We actually don't know what WhatsApp is doing. It's a closed source app, so there is nothing preventing Facebook from getting your keys and reading your chats. It just takes one national security letter to force them.

Telegram wins because it's usable by non-techies. And has open source clients. And has a decent Linux client. It's preferable to chatting over Instagram.
