Why not? I thought it had very good security. It's E2E encrypted and the government of France uses it.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought I heard about terrible security implementations relating to matrix servers.

Edit: I think I was remembering this: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/09/matrix-patches-vulnerabilities-that-completely-subvert-e2ee-guarantees/

Looks like I’m mostly wrong.

A while back people had a problem with metadata or something. I used to have my own server, so I wasn’t really worried about it.

But it’s been like 3 years since I’ve used it or looked into it.

Kinda curious what’s changed at this point.
