Er, The third link doesn't even support your argument and the first two links are written by the same author.

Signal IS much better.

It's a nonprofit, not a commerical company.

There are arguments for and against centralized systems and forks of apps. The lead dev of Signal is concerned about interoperability; but still leaves users the option of doing things the way they would like with the open source code; it's just not 'supported™'

In the third link, look at the replies. Matrix is much better than Signal, because it solves all the problems listed in my links.
