Not sure why Signal gets all the attention when Matrix is much more successful at spreading open source messaging and is also decentralized.

Such easy round single numbers do well in advocacy of the technology. In the Netherlands the social network project PubHubs has just started (with some serious backers, like Dutch public broadcasters, 2 universities), and they'll use the Matrix protocol. Though they will be cryptographically separated from the rest of the Matrix network. In their presentations couple of weeks ago they mentioned a Matrix user base of 30 something million, influencing their technology choice. And I was like "Huh? Wow. That's a lot".
