A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
That wouldn't apply to conversations you have within a group that hosts their own server, would it? Like within a family or a club.
If anyone in your group has an account is hosted on Matrix.org, yes. If no one is, no.
But that puts a huge limitation on the platform so, why bother?
Isn't this the same limitation of any federated platform? If you communicate with someone from a different instance your data will be replicated on their instance
No, not all platforms store metadata, much less absolutely all of it unencrypted. Further, other platforms are less centralized.
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.
