    You can’t know with certainty on Signal that the client and the server are actually keeping your messages encrypted at rest, you have to trust them.

    With Matrix, if you self host, you are the one in control.

      You can’t know with certainty on Signal that the client and the server are actually keeping your messages encrypted at rest, you have to trust them.

      This is untrue. By design, messages are never decrypted on servers when end-to-end encryption is in use. They would have to break the encryption first, because they don’t have the keys.
