The problem with signal is that of any application running on a third party server, no matter if they publish their code on Github, you will never know what they run on their servers, so it's all a matter of trust.

This is why no intelligence agent will use a VPN over Tor.

And this is why SimpleX is so important, because you decide who is your receiving server to which the sender will connect, as if it were an email server, and setting up a Simplex server costs 5 minutes.

Hosting your own SMP Server

Simplex is good. I hear that. However, I find that self-hosting Simplex has some hang up points to a good UX for non-techies whom you wish to get on to your self-hosted Simplex server.

The non-techie user has to plug in all your self-hosted credentials (SMP, Coturn,etc.) and then turn off all the default servers of Simplex.

Matrix self-hosted is far more simple. The non-techie only needs your homesever URL and their user name and password. DONE.

That is why we run Matrix home server on our Sovran Pros. It is much easier to get people into your home server to create a private and anonymous community chat, calling, and video experience.

But there is a big difference, Matrix was not created to be private.

Yes, I hear you. At the same time - IP/TCP was not created to be private.
