For the last days I was thinking about Signal alternatives. Signal is great, but I have some issues with it:<li>It does not play with Keyoxide, so someone may impersonate me. Sure, one can go to my website and get my Signal username, but it moves the validation up to "is that the correct website?", which can be verified with Keyoxide, but that's not ideal.</li><li>It's centralized, which, in fairness, it's not that bad since it does have E2EE and a lot of security measures and it's open-source, but, again, it's not ideal.</li><li>Third party clients are not allowed, which, for me, is not a good think considering that, if you should not trust the server, people should not trust the code and edit and compile their own clients (with a huge asterisk... for the next toot).</li>
