    Their Matrix bridge is open source, and (at least they claim) everything is E2E encrypted. I love Beeper, and as unstable of a service as it is, it’s still really great and I fully trust it with my messages. Waited 2 years for this service and I’m gonna use it lol.

      It is end to bridge encrypted. I trust them too but I still prefer to self-host this stuff.

      everything is E2E encrypted

      not really. an E2E encrypted message is decrypted on their server, and then reencrypted before they sent it to the recipient.
