I was sold on Matrix as a viable alternative to Discord but recently read this article which made it look not so good.

      That is the nature of any federated protocol.

      E2EE works well enough within rooms and that is likely where private data is to be anyway. As long as you Matrix and assume that everyone can see your Matrix ID and room IDs you’ll be okay.

      XMPP isn’t any better in that regard.

        Except that the Element web-client also phones home to matrix/element mothership.

          thats one check and just use another client :P and that doesnt send the messages in the room to matrix.org so that doesnt have anything to do with the comment I replied to

              all it does is ping to check that your config.md is valid I think its not the end of the world like people make it out to be and its element/new vector not new vector/matrix
