Instead of dismissing Signal, I wonder if it could be changed to support a federated model.
Just a thought, because Signal has seen widespread adoption. Getting people to change their messenger is hard.
Signal is against federation.
What about a peer-to-peer model with relay servers like SimpleX?
Maube but Simplex really sucks balls IMO
