Signal had their own share of downtime. How about going to a federated system instead of repeating the same mistakes? (https://matrix.org)


But still a part would be down, if a server has an outage. How about a system, where every device that is used for chatting is a server at the same time? I wonder whether something like that already exists. Bundle it together with bigger servers to handle the load. If the bigger servers experience outages, the service can still continue, although a bit slower


Matrix P2P already exists.


Thanks, didn't know that!
