Yeah, the e2ee thing is interesting — in theory it has no trade-offs, but in practice there are a lot. I would personally prefer to use an e2ee product, but I think a lot of people won't care (especially if they self-host). I will keep writing.

Too many possibly, but I'm targeting a different type of group than signal. I think there are diminishing returns to e2ee as group size grows since trust also weakens. So it really could come out in the wash.

If you aren't already, I highly recommend scheduling calls with existing or target users to ask them such questions. Also, read The Mom Test to learn how to do this best. It's hard and super fucking awkward, but you'll learn in a few hours what would take you years by trial and error.
Personally, I haven't used discord in more than a few rare cases and I'm only in Slack because other groups I want to follow use them. For SN's internal comms we use Matrix because we wanted something E2EE (not saying you should add E2EE because we are likely in minority if you look at the rest of the market). I use Signal for all my personal group chats.
Do this more. Not only for your customers but even more so for yourself. Writing is up-leveled thinking and having Claude write about your product means you're thinking less about your product than you could (and should).
I'm still no good at any of this stuff but ... As with all things you want to get better at but are uncomfortable with, approach it incrementally or outsource it/ask for help.
