This article sort of makes the case for Matrix but I find Matrix incredibly clunky and slow. Plus every time it "verifies" me it always goes back to the app on my phone like it's some sort of permanent and authoritative identifier. So in that sense it's similar to Signal and Telegram being attached to your phone in some way.

Hard to know what to trust these days. "Nobody" I guess.

matrix does not care about which device you use for verification.

that said the clients do leak a lot of metadata when compared to signal.

Have you looked at Tox?
