Have you seen the Stack Overflow Developer Survey results for 2023?
Of the 83,830 folks surveyed, Matrix is the #1 chat tool in terms of current users' satisfaction. It's also rated as the most desirable among the open source tools listed, but there is a _lot_ of room for improvement in awareness there.
Let's build on this in 2024! https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-admired-and-desired-synchronous-tools
@matrix Isn't signal also open source?
@maybeanerd Oh thanks for asking! Yes, it appears the author here (hi that's me, Josh) got ahead of himself – thought only the Signal client was open source, but indeed both server and client are open source.
So we're #2 in FOSS and #1 in decentralized. We'll revise accordingly!
@matrix signal server is no longer open-source. See §2 of https://signal.org/blog/keeping-spam-off-signal/
@lutindiscret @matrix Ohno:(
Still the protocol and clients are, which tbh is the most important part about e2ee is it not?
