"content": "I've seen people talking about Signal a lot lately and the one reason I'm a little hesitant to put all my eggs into the Signal basket is that I'm worried Signal is going to enshittify like all the other centralized platforms have. I trust Signal's security and their apps seem decent, but moving from Telegram to Signal only to have Signal eventually go bad as well concerns me.\n\nIt's why I'm using Matrix as my main messenger right now. I like federation. I'm also kinda waiting to see how everything shakes out. :meowshrug: Matrix has some issues and notable security drawbacks, but the most appealing thing to me is that it's decentralized and not at the whims of potential vulture capitalists down the road. The Signal Foundation seems awesome and is well-run, but, being centralized, that *can* change. Plus, on Matrix, I can bridge everything to it and treat it as a modern day Pidgin/Trillian. :blobfox3cevil: \n\nThat said, if you're on Telegram and Matrix seems a little complicated, *try out Signal*. It's much better that Telegram and much more secure (and isn't run by fuckin Nazis).\n\n#Signal #Matrix #Telegram #FOSS #InstantMessenger #Federation",
