The article alleges that Matrix:
- has links to Israeli intelligence.
- sends a lot of sensitive data to matrix.org servers, even when Synapse is self-hosted.
Is this information accurate?
To be clear, I’m not saying Matrix is bad. I’m still using it. I just want to know more about it and who’s running the show, and hear other people’s opinions and arguments. Thanks for all the insightful comments.
What’s a better alternative? Which other platforms are you referring to? How do they compare in terms of features and adoption? From all the decentralised, e2e encrypted platforms I tried, matrix is the only one more or less accessible for normies.
