What I’m looking for ultimately is a universal chat type app like Beeper that can handle Signal and SMS, however, reading this about it gives me pause. It would be nice if I could get all my peeps on matrix, but since it was so hard to get them on to Signal, I think the best I can hope for is something than can handle matrix, signal, and sms. Which brings me back to the title, how exactly do Matrix bridges work and are they secure?

EDIT: SMS is insecure by its very nature, yes?

    That means Apple, Signal, WhatsApp, and a whole bunch of other services will have to interoperate by law

    I don’t think Signal is big enough to be included in the requirement. and in addition to that, while the premise is pretty great I’m not that enthusiastic about Whatsapp being able to mine metadata from my conversations as a Signal user :/
