Is using an Matrix account from matrix.org private and secure enough to talk with my family members and people in general?

So, I was told to not use Signal, so all that is left is Matrix. And I am not techy enough to have my own server and neither are my relatives, so Matrix.org is the only option
Most packages/installs of Signal contain proprietary code. I suggest Molly-FOSS instead.
Suggestion accepted, looks nice.
It is not. We are on a privacy sub on lemmy, services that require mandatory phone number are far away from been fine to use.
I think there is campaign to get people to use signal, while servers are proprietary and other things are questionable.
It is a great operation for convincing the majority.
Servers are always going to be owned by someone. But the data is encrypted with keys not available to the server. Signal isn't perfect, and I don't like some stuff they do, but it's the best design out there that is also relatively user friendly and doesn't have holes that are easy to exploit by the server owner.
