I was sold on Matrix as a viable alternative to Discord but recently read this article which made it look not so good.

    "5 years after the creation of Matrix, and after 5 years of centrally receiving such a scandalous amount of users private data from their «decentralized» software, it was only after the mentioned report was published when the Matrix developers published some «privacy improvements» [13] addressing some of the revealed problems.

    We have not read it."

    This seems lazy to me. I haven’t read the report but i’m also not the one writing an article bashing matrix. If i was I’d want to know whether my concerns are still valid, and as a reader i want to know whether the concerns they brought up still apply without having to read a whole other report

      The rest of the article reads the same. They even said what they were repeating is probably FUD and made zero effort to investigate.

      yeah it seems like they started writing this article by forming an opinion then cherry picking, not looking at the data and then forming an opinion around it
