In my opinion this is the best messager for democracy. For receiving messages while offline you can use Briar mailboxes. I would highly recommend this over many other messagers.

How does it compare to Matrix?

All Matrix activity is recorded permanently on servers. Yes, encrypted, but maintain a permanent copy.

I have my own server, which everyone I know uses, including the WUI.

Fuck central servers.

But who you message on Matrix has your activity as part of receieved messages
