Comment on What If: Signal Was Part of the Fediverse?
gelberhut@lemdro.id 1 year agoAgree.
On the other hand, matrix offers anonymous chat, while signal requires a phone number. What software is really executed on signal servers knows only signal’s team - so, it is still, a matter of trust.
Signal also not good in cross device usage.
It looks there is no ideal options

But that’s not what’s being said here. In this post people op is asking for federated Signal. People are saying matrix is just as secure. This is wrong and I am pointing that out so people don’t go thinking this is correct. Making misleading statements about the security of this sort of thing is dangerous.

You are right. One still, must not forget that signal knows you phone number, though.
I would say matrix is the closest what exist.
