    E2EE does not demand tradeoffs. None of my other E2EE apps have tradeoffs. Only Matrix has problems.

      Name the apps please, I’d like alternatives that don’t overly compress my media or calls, restrict the type file files I send or the size.

      Seriously. I’m low on options here, and I loathe systems that mess with my stuff without my asking it to.

        I mean Signal is not my favorite but it’s consistently easy to use and problem-free.

          At least for me it destroys image quality and calls are terribly over compressed, audio is painful to me. That’s explicitly why I stopped using it as a default and am looking for others.

          I’m glad you find it good at least, as it’s better than crap like Facebook Messenger, but I can’t stand it as they run it now.

            I mean unencrypted platforms aren’t perfect either but the vast majority of the time it’s perfectly fine or very good. Maybe you have a connectivity issue.

            Do you not have these problems with Matrix as well?

            All of these have significant tradeoffs.

            You’re commenting in a thread about tradeoffs in Matrix so I’m not sure what your point is. Mine was that those particular tradeoffs don’t exist in other messengers.

            So much so that i would not recommend them to normies

            LOL what? Why not?
