I mean we’re there for Signal. The parts that suck still are regarding access/retention of old messages which is an area Matrix is ironically slightly better about. But Signal we don’t need to think about verification, at worst it says this asshole has a new identity and then I have to tell them I’ve reset my iPhone for the 4th time this week…

Normal users do find retention important even if privacy/security minded users find value in ephemerality.

Can you use Signal across multiple devices?

You can use Molly to put Signal on multiple devices or you can bridge it into Matrix or XMPP, but you'll always need to run on one "main" device.

Officially it supports linking other devices like their desktop app as a secondary. I currently use this to link into signal-mautrix on my matrix homeserver. This way I can access signal from multiple phones and multiple computers using a matrix client instead.

		But you still need one "primary" device and it has to be a phone, right? That's different from Matrix where you can have arbitrary devices that are all on an equal footing.
