Agree, I don't want them storing anything.

This is one area where, and I know what you're going to say, but Matrix actually does really well. My data, on my server, in my house, not tied to any specific single device I own but distributed across several and backed up in an encrypted manner.

But you've got me thinking about the data export option. Saturday is coming. Hmm...

I'm actually a fan of Matrix. I just see Matrix and Signal as different tools. You're probably aware of it, but if not, there is a Matrix bridge for Signal.

Hey, I'm really hoping it works. Let me know how it goes!
