Signal is finally tightening its desktop client's security by changing how it stores plain text encryption keys for the data store after downplaying the issue since 2018.

I really don’t understand why so many people like Signal. It’s an utter piece of shit in terms of UX, has questionable security practices, harvests phone numbers, and it’s located on a central server in US.

    Isn’t Signal very similar to Telegram but focused on “security” and less features? Revolt is more like Discord. Matrix feels more similar to XMPP, and I see it as a compromise between Telegram style and Discord style. Matrix works well as a one to one chat as well as a team collaboration chat, but audio and video chats are very laggy. Self-hosted Jitsi would serve as an alternative to video and audio chats.
