    There’s been a few articles recently about Session authors starting with Signal protocol, and then continuing without clear understanding what they do, thus that Session shouldn’t be used.

    Matrix is a compromise, it’s not as much about security as it is about just modern FOSS chat.

      Pray tell. Granted again that Element doesn’t yet support forward secrecy, but describe what you see as specifically wrong with Matrix, please.

        Federated with huge load on servers. I’d prefer something like old Skype with auth servers part interacting via activitypub or something like that.

          Do you see anything wrong with it security-wise? The wording of your previous comment has me confused where you fall on this.

            Just that I haven’t heard of it being as praised as Signal, and since it appears to be intended for chat rooms more than for privacy, there’s natural suspicion that something is missed there.
