I agree of addressing flaws for sure, makes for safer software!

I also prefer decentralized networks over centralize for obvious reasons and your point about signal possibly falling into the WhatsApp route is very valid as well since it has happened to companies before.

At this point it really comes down to personal preference, there are strong arguments for both sides, hard to choose! Hah, will definitely have to look into those protocols to get a clearer picture.

What do you think about soatok's very vocal opinions regarding matrix? It was at the end of the article. They linked a wall of text of opinions about how they don't trust the developers of matrix to build a safe platform.

I'm impartial about both platforms, and the way I see it is that Signal would be great if it was decentralized, and Matrix would be great if it used a different type of protocol, even though Matrix does use a fork of a protocol that Signal uses.

I'm not sure what the difference of the protocols Matrix and signal use so I have to look into that in my own time to really find out why one is better than the other like soatok claims haha
