I really don't understand why so many people like Signal. It's an utter piece of shit in terms of UX, has questionable security practices, harvests phone numbers, and it's located on a central server in US.

https://element.io has a pretty easy onboarding for matrix, that's good for most platforms.

In the 90s-2000s, we had to make new accounts for every forum-type site if we wanted to use them, but nowadays it's assumed that ppl aren't smart enough to do that anymore.
