Matrix leaks a ton of metadata and for normal users the clients are still very much in the sucking phase. Signal being centralized changes nothing about its security when the freaking servers can’t see anything about the messages. It literally is the most secure way to communicate out there, period.
Thanks; is leaking metadata just a consequence of the decentralized nature or is it something specific to how Matrix was made? Maybe I’ll try out Signal (I’ve been looking for some alternatives) but I don’t like how they’re based in America/5 Eyes, even if they are encrypted.
It is, but Signal and Matrix aren’t really all that similar. Matrix’s privacy is pretty atrocious. It stores tons of meta data about users all over the place. That’s the exact opposite of what Signal does.
Isn’t Signal still centralised? Why use it over Matrix? (genuine question)

There’s some people trying to run messaging services over TOR, no idea if much is gained from it
