  1. The problem that I have with Signal is that it uses Electron on desktop so is super bloated. It also requires installing it on mobile (and with a phone number) despite the fact that it has a desktop version. So it is misleadig to say that you can't use it on desktop, just that it's not a good experience on desktop, and it also still requires installing it on a mobile (at least temporarily. The mobile doesn't need to be connected at all Also the problem that I've had with most modern messengers is that I'm stuck using their specific client. One that usually has very limited features (like poor customizability, or no DND/offline/idle, sometimes even no logs). Matrix and XMPP are exceptions that I'm aware of though.
