It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month.

He’s also the creator of https://fedidb.org btw

Nice. This sounds like a federated signal messanger? Why not using matrix or xmpp? 🤨

According to this post, Signal can federate, but chooses not to. In another post, it's said that Matrix is based off Signal.

So, one way to look at it announcement is "you will be able send Signal/Matrix messages from your fediverse instance of choice", I believe

Huh. I wonder what they mean by “bad user UX”. I was expecting concerns about encryption or privacy, not UX. I already use Signal, so it would be a positive for me if they federate.
