- azornathogron 6y agoFewer ways for it to be misconfigured? In Matrix you've got to remember to turn on the encryption, and verify each of your clients. At least that's my understanding, maybe that is out of date.
- tffg 6y agoEncryption is on by default. In both cases you should verify.
- azornathogron 6y agoNeat! Thank you for the correction.
- feanaro 6y agoIt's also worth noting that verification is much easier these days given that cross-signing has been implemented. Before you had to verify each pair of (sender, recipient) devices. This meant N*M verifications. Now you only need to verify a new device when you are setting it up and each new recipient when you start talking to them for the first time. So it's N+M verifications.
- luplex 6y agoThe beauty of matrix is the interoperability: you can actually talk to other users on other servers, like email. You can join large public groups, too.
