Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging (techcrunch.com)

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I'm also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

Oh that's the only one I know of. I thought that this is what you're referring to.

I tried it out once, but I currently don't use it, because I just run mollysocket on my own server.

On my app I don’t get rich notifications only “you may have a new message”.

That should only be the case while your Molly database is locked, because the actual messages can't be decrypted, so no message preview can be shown in the notification.
