I think XMPP.

      Using matrix as is out of the box is relatively secure but you need to be aware that a lot of metadata ends up on the servers of a UK based for-profit & venture capital funded company (New Vector).

      Using 3rd party clients should really be encouraged.

        metadata is not encrypted as per matrix protocol, it’s not the client’s fault

          Would it even be possible to encrypt some basic metadata? I doubt that.

            xmpp encrypts everything, metadata included

            it’s not easy and makes the protocol really hard to implement but it is possible

                🤔 that does seem to be the case, maybe i was thinking of signal (it truly encrypts all metadata)
