      I was told that unless you self host, matrix is less secure because it leaks more metadata. Something to consider

          sender, recipient, chatroom, what kind of event you sent (message, emoji, reaction, vote), if you responded to a message, room privilege changes, etc

          but it’s a question how big of a problem is that. they want to tackle it in the future, but that’s far away for now I think

              Zero trust means there’s no trust assumed on the protocol - I.e. it distrusts all actors and the protocol takes steps to work in that trustless environment. I don’t know how that applies specifically to matrix.

                  Like I said, I don’t know the inner workings of Matrix. But according to the second guy that isn’t you, Matrix has a new tech stack that is zero trust. Now, there are many ways in which that can be true and I don’t know if what Matrix has right now can indeed be considered dissident-level privacy.

                  It’s good enough for my threat level (I basically just use it for software support). If I were planning to overthrow a regime, I’d likely go with SimpleX or some other privacy-first messengers.

              the new cryptographic protocol protects metadata, like signal. the servers know nothing about any encrypted chats

                  sorta, the old clients still have bad cryptography and the new client isn’t fully featured yet
