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.
