#3While Signal is pretty awful on desktop(not to mention this[1] thing), it is my goto messenger on my phone. Brilliant security and props for being one of the very few to extensively use Rust in production. I was really sad to see they hire in the US only.

#4i want to like signal but the UX is wanting. i installed it today and it only imported some of my sms messages; found almost 1000 open issues on github. then i sent the "get signal" message to a friend who installed it but our messages still kept saying they were insecure sms. turns out we had to "refresh" our contact lists (there is no menu option to do this, you're just supposed to know to pull down on the contacts page -- discovered while reading the github issue related to the failed import). i also find the contrast ratio too high in dark mode and the random colors for all my contacts just make my eyes bleed. basically i felt like in 5 minutes of using it i'd uncovered as many bugs. maybe soon i can try to make the switch again.

Matrix is great IRC, slack replacement but signal is WhatsApp replacement.

#7unless they allow no phone accounts, its a non starter for many. including me. having been persecuted for having whatsapp installed on the phone, (which i personally dont, btw) for an adversary like a police state, whatsapp encryption is somewhat moot. public 'news' groups on whatsapp have admins and they are made to report to the local police station where that malware is installed. then its just a matter of time waiting for people to talk. the issue here is every account is linked to a phone number. easy for police to cross reference a person with that number because of already stringent kyc norms on phone numbers.
oh, telegram also suffers from this.
oh, and being beaten for having installed a vpn

#8> Group calls are currently limited to 5 participants
Compared to other apps which offer group E2EE video calls:
Duo - 32 participants
Facetime - 32 participants
Zoom - 100 participants (or 1000 w/ a Large Meeting License)

I disagree. Signal on Fedora works very well for me. Even video/audio calls work surprisingly well. And it is available as a Flatpak.
