Secure messaging is about much more than end-to-end encryption. Metadata collection, open-source transparency, independent audits, default encryption, account requirements, backups, and jurisdiction all influence how private a messaging platform actually is. This comparison examines the major privacy-focused messaging apps and discusses the trade-offs each one makes instead of trying to crown a single "best" option.

I like to think folk would trust me, an enthusiast, with absolute sovereign security for their information over superficial centralised security from a corporation. Well, as it is a Matrix server doesn't need any personal info from a client, just the bare essentials from their device to make comms work.
