    Theyve been around for a few years and I'm still not really impressed. No E2EE, No federation if the people running it go belly up. You might as well use signal ATP.

    As far as I understand it can be somewhat federated using the matrix protocol? https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/stoat/

    This isn't federation, its a bridge. Theres also a bridge for Discord, Telegram and Signal, but none of those are federated either
