Matrix, even if it was a siv, would be better than Signal, because it doesn't know your phone and passport numbers.
I'm not denying that major flaw of Signal, in which part, yes exposing your phone number tied to your Signal account basically negates Signal's security, as well as Signal's centralized server being proprietary. Nevertheless, when using Matrix, you need to ensure you and everyone you communicate with uses a client that isn't still using the deprecated libolm cryptography backend (and that it uses vodozemac).
