Followed your Mastodon account as I’m doing my best to get away from using matrix because of how bad it is about leaking metadata. Chats are definitely end-to-end encrypted, but if the metadata of who is talking to who and when and what reactions were posted to messages is available unencrypted, that’s not great. Also, Matrix Keys are kind of a pain in the ass to manage without screwing up and losing access to your chats. And I say this as somebody who deals with crypto. Managing Matrix Keys is just hard and unwieldy. I have shifted personally to SimpleX

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that Matrix isn’t good in terms of privacy/anonymity

It’s got better that it used to, but there might still be the occasional hiccup.
Also, the Lemmy.zip room is public, not encrypted, so no keys shenanigans
