  Theres a lot of metadata that’s not encrypted in matrix, some of which goes to matrix.org no matter what server youre using.

    If your talking to someone and your both on a server that’s not matrix.org no data gets sent to matrix.org

      Except that the Element web-client also phones home to matrix.org

        It doesn’t send metadata about your use. There is a version check though.

    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.
