Signal is to privacy what duct tape is to a broken item - it solves your issues and concerns, but you shouldn't expect it to last. Instead, consider Matrix.
Great article and it is strange that Moxie doesn’t really like Signal forks using their servers. Isn’t what Moxie doing against the license of the project?
Signal is great but as written in the article there are problems with it. But the great thing about Signal is that it is really simple to use and there is nothing to really set up.
Element on the other hand has a kind of complicated UI. I am fine with the UI but I often hear new people complaining about it.
The matrix protocol is great and I love the decentralised aspect of it.
If you install the app on another device, sometimes old messages in an encrypted room won’t appear and then you have to request a key from another session, get the device verified, etc. This process is kinda difficult to understand for me.
Matrix is awesome, but guys try to not use the one node out of thousands(matrix.org) choose another node of people you trust, also avoid using vector.im other than that… matrix FTW.

Some matrix instances
no. you can moderate your own signal server however you want, moxie own the signal.org server and doesn’t allowed unofficial clients to use it
having said that, you could argue that it goes against the idea of the license and foss software in general
