Instead of dismissing Signal, I wonder if it could be changed to support a federated model.

Just a thought, because Signal has seen widespread adoption. Getting people to change their messenger is hard.

What about a peer-to-peer model with relay servers like SimpleX?

read cryptographers blogs. kike Saotok the furry iirc. also simplex has a cryptography report that it has failed and not implemented.

Signal is against federation.
