But then what's the benefit to Signal? Just that it's decentralized?
You can't know with certainty on Signal that the client and the server are actually keeping your messages encrypted at rest, you have to trust them.
With Matrix, if you self host, you are the one in control.
Isn't Signal E2E encrypted? How would it be able to decrypt them?
