While I love Signal for its simplicity and Matrix/Riot for its features. I regularly train high risk activists/journalists/aid workers on both and they always default to Signal. Matrix unfortunately suffers because it has too many features - and by far the biggest one we hear about is key exchange. I love the granular options but the vast majority of people just looking to communicate don't.

I'm going to be working on some UX improvements to Matrix/Riot and agree with you on feature bloat, or at least hiding complexity for most users.

Would love to have a chat with you about the issues the people you train have come across with Matrix

We have a matrix chatroom for three colleagues. The list of keys and devices we have to verify against each other does not fit anyone's screen, it is insane.
