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

The client is open source, you can look at exactly what it does on your device.

That doesn't answer my question though. I asked about their servers, not your client.

We don't know since we don't have access to their servers.

I'm not saying Telegram is the best chat service. I prefer Matrix over Telegram. But Telegram is objectively better than WhatsApp and is doing a good job of getting people off Facebook (around 700 million users last I checked).
