I did the mistake that I got a bunch of people into Signal which is obviously already really good, but just a couple of month later I switched to Matrix and can’t get anyone to move other than my fiance and my dad.
Anyway, the Signal <-> Matrix bridge is quite solid.
But in short, yes, but that is only a problem if you don’t host your own bridge, because you’re in control of the whole chain and everything from the bridge to your client is still encrypted.

Too bad Matrix clients are all kinda meh… Beeper is the only pretty solid one I’ve come across and it sadly isn’t open-source.
But this bridge kills e2e encryption? And if you do not care about it telegram and WhatsApp are a better choice.
I have a video which explains it in detail: https://tube.jeena.net/w/rYhp4ZT5Ykw1aBGqMr62KG

Let me guess: you host matrix server yourself, right? :)
Yes I do, everyone who can should for their friends and family ^^
