     why signal rather than XMPP, Matrix or DeltaChat?

     @gnu2 @gretared #Signal is what I'm likely to recommend to most folks these days. Basic security is quite decent, and it's rather easy for technologically challenged people to work out how to use on their own. #Telegram has become littered with spam lately, and the only way to block it is to pay for a subscription; file trasfers have gotten quite slow as well. While simple for many of us, #Matrix and #XMPP have too much logistical burden for most people to hassle with.
