matrix is almost certainly more secure, although not without its own problems
I wouldn't call matrix more secure. The amount of metadata it leaks can be enough to get you arrested or killed. It's objectively better when communicating with unknown people and better for groups but I'm not sure it's a better replacement for SMS. The CIA funding isn't a nail in the coffin because the US government has a vested interest in keeping operatives safe with non-incriminating technology, such as tor.
fair enough, for sure use case should be considered with this stuff and signal is probably "good enough" for most people who aren't actively planning to overthrow the government/do terrorism or whatever
