    Matrix is neat but incredibly slow, lacks many functions of Discord/Teams/Slack, etc, and lastly is not private at all unless you run your own server and use it only to converse with people on your server.

      Matrix supports e2e chats with other users, even over federation.

          I know signal claims they have little/no metadata, but is that a protocol guarantee or are we just trusting them that they aren’t logging anything? I personally have no trust in signal given they are against federation and custom clients.

            I mean they have provided court documents from when they have been subpoenaed and they didn’t give any metadata. I’m not sure what more you can ask for.
