Matrix. It’s far more open than signal.

True, however it’s not as polished as Signal and not as noob friendly. I’ve been using Matrix daily for a couple years using Fluffychat and Element and not much has changed.

Unfortunately, no federated service will be as noob friendly as a centralised service.
It has made improvements although I agree it needs some more work in the ease of use department.

I can’t agree. What is the thing that decentralized service cannot have?
Imagine theoretical Matrix client with Signal’s UI and Signal’s identity (phone number) resolution.

Great until they got rid of sms fall back for people that don't have signal

That pretty much only affected the small percentage of American users that used Signal for the SMS integration. For everyone else it literally made no difference whatsoever.

It’s not really needed because unlike iMessage, anyone can use Signal.
