That explains why my Matrix <-> Signal bridge was complaining about being disconnected.
You can connect Matrix with Signal?
Sure, I got all my Signal/Telegram chats synced to my Matrix server.

I think I'll be heavily looking into this then! Thanks
Does this break all the various security features that are the reason to use Signal in the first place?
The Matrix server is a normal Signal client that can encrypt/decrypt messages from your account.
Assuming you trust your server, no. I would not use it on a third party Matrix server.
