much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Signal is not applicable when you need a public space for people to just have a discussion, like in discord. Signal clients are clunky and rely on cross sync from what I see, while telegram clients are well made and convenient to use. Even Whatsapp went away from electron so I’d choose it over signal any day.
Obviously you have never used Element for matrix. Signal is like a Ferrari in comparison.
Yeah I’ve never used matrix really.
Matrix would work for that and would avoid proprietary software and sketchy companies
I would argue that the standard federation fragmentation issues still apply. Many instances end up defederating from each other and you have no idea which wind you’re pissing into.
Does it sync automatically between desktop and mobile? Can I share an image into it on mobile and have it a few seconds later on laptop?
Yes, just keep in mind the encryption is flaky if you use a browser that clears browsing data. Best option is to use a client
Have you tried Signal recently? On Android it’s very well polished.
In fact I believe it’s a shame that not more people use such a beautiful app, regardless of privacy and security implications.
I have no use for it for now and as long as it’s still electron on desktop I don’t want to have it running.
