    Great article and it is strange that Moxie doesn’t really like Signal forks using their servers. Isn’t what Moxie doing against the license of the project?

    Signal is great but as written in the article there are problems with it. But the great thing about Signal is that it is really simple to use and there is nothing to really set up.

    Element on the other hand has a kind of complicated UI. I am fine with the UI but I often hear new people complaining about it.

    The matrix protocol is great and I love the decentralised aspect of it.

    If you install the app on another device, sometimes old messages in an encrypted room won’t appear and then you have to request a key from another session, get the device verified, etc. This process is kinda difficult to understand for me.
