And here I was waiting for simultaneous phone and tablet sync as well as notifications for Signal. Nope, I can only use one device at a time. I noped out and went with Telegram. Priorities.

Look for Matrix/Element, it's the Lemmy to Signal/Discord/Teams/Slack's Reddit. 👍

I'd compare it to Mastodon more. Like Mastodon, it has an actual competent non-profit behind it and is very transparent and open up community engagement with a ton of clients. Lemmy developers are... just doing their own thing I guess. Lemmy needs a rewrite tbh, it's still a mess.

[–] rchive@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe. I just assumed people on Lemmy would be familiar with Lemmy when I'm not sure they'd be familiar with Mastodon. But, yeah, maybe they are.

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.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's all well and good but your server collects pretty much all metadata.

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

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.

Not even that... They don't even have desktop registration in the official client, which is just outrageous.
