We've been using #Element / #Matrix in production in our company for 7 years now, maintain secondary emergency channel on #Signal.

Element is not perfect, has some questionable UX calls, some moments of "Why on earth would anyone..." - but truth is, I have far more such moments with #Slack and Element works "well enough."

Also know #Teams from some customers... and yeah, it's also really not great.

Baaaam! With # Beeper, "you can have multiple #Signal accounts and multiple #WhatsApp accounts, all in one device... We figured out how to make this all run locally on your device, and so it’s just as secure as using one of these native apps" www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...

Why Matt Mullenweg went to war...

There's a "Signal deanonymized" thing going around:

Stay calm. Deep breaths.

👉 while this is a real consideration, the only thing the attacker gets from this is a very rough (kilometers or tens of kilometers radius) location

👉 other communication platforms that use any kind of caching CDN to deliver attachments are just as affected

👉 you almost certainly should continue to use Signal, unless you specifically know that this is a big problem for you.
