    Thanks; is leaking metadata just a consequence of the decentralized nature or is it something specific to how Matrix was made? Maybe I’ll try out Signal (I’ve been looking for some alternatives) but I don’t like how they’re based in America/5 Eyes, even if they are encrypted.

      But yeah, that’s the thing, it doesn’t matter where it is based when there can’t be any information gleamed from it.

        In terms of message security, but they could shut down the servers and disrupt the service for a while.

      Signal literally couldn’t give away your communications if they wanted to, everyone who disagrees with the way things are going should be using it.
