Dunno TBH. It is apparently using the signal protocol, so there's that, and it's being spun out of pixelfed's own IM/DM feature, which is generally all over the place across the fediverse, so it all kinda makes sense I guess.
If you care about privacy and security, matrix has some glaring flaws. The biggest IMO is not currently encrypting metadata, so who you talk to and when is plaintext. The signal protocol encrypts everything, including the meta data.
