@matrix I generally don't disagree with the articles points but it forgets to mention that Matrix is harder. Signal is a drop in replacement for Whatsapp and Whatsapp is basically the same for SMS which makes both incredibly easy to use even for the least technical people. Additionally Signal has a lot more users then Matrix and the phone number makes them easy to find which makes Signal the more useful option to most people.

@gamey @matrix There is opt-in user discovery service in Matrix that is supported by many clients and allows to find users by phone number.
However, I have this feature disabled in my Telegram account (I don't use Signal but it's the same) because I have all contacts I need.

@lig I am aware of that but since the few people who actually are on Matrix usually don't share there phone number it doesn't actually help. I am not really sure how to solve this issue tbh.

@gamey Just post your Matrix id where you have your number posted and let people contact you on their own will.
