Cross-signing and end-to-end encryption by default

But maybe people don't want to use different software for the same purpose: sending text to other people. No matter they are on a PC or smartphone. That's what botters me with Signal. Bound to a phone (number).

But Signal just works and is fast (though not as fast as WhatsApp)

Matrix in the default login also works, but when you choose the default open Matrix Server ... it is slow.

So I also will continue to use .. not only 2 but 6 different text sending applications. But in the future I would love to just use the Matrix protocol and one software.

I guess the difference I see is that texting I find useful for one on one conversation, or a small group. Slack I find good for big groups. I actually like to have two different apps for these because it lets me better compartmentalize my socialization, especially since the latter tends to be associated with work (I like to compartmentalize work from my social life).
