@soatok With this and your blog post, that clarifies how to approach conversation - I'm not using a "Signal" alternative. I'm using a "bit more secure than Discord/etc messaging" alternative, especially with self-hosting the server too.
My priorities differ from yours,
I'm not currently in a situation where I'm comfortable depending on my phone number for account access and tying myself to a single client, but I'll see how Signal evolves. I recognize it gets very complex to solve certain problems if you're not able to have control over development of both the server and all clients.
