Apologies to everyone I pressed into quitting Messenger to switch to WA in the 10s. Hopefully I'm not repeating the same error in the 20s, but with WA->Signal. π
Signal is better than WA (from privacy point of view) but it's still a centralised service. I am personally a fan of xmpp but since I was never even able to convince anyone to switch from WA to Signal, convincing people to switch to a federated service is even tougher.
On the other hand, switching messengers once every decade should be fine, I think. We did switch from ICQ/AIM to Yahoo! / MSN messenger, then came Skype, then WhatsApp. I think Signal should be good enough for this decade.
There's also Threema, Swiss based, but it has one-time payment, so most people wouldn't like it.
10s were the decade of signal. In the 20s, Matrix is the better choice.
Damn I just got Delta. Am I doomed to be perpetually behind on cool chats?
Delta seems cool, I haven't used it much, but I would rate it one step below Signal for general use. It can be the chat for 30s, I think π
Wave of the future!
As a matrix user who is using the WhatsApp bridge. I'll probably never see the ads anyways
