I've got to be honest with you. I went into this hesitant but you make some convincing arguments.

While for activism I agree with your recommendations. More generally it's mostly a social network and thus UX thing. I recently moved from whatsapp to signal because my social network was willing to do so and the UX was similar to whatsapp.

It believe element and thus matrix is almost ready to do the same.

The future of the internet is federated and p2p or none at all.
