What do you think? The Hated One said Signal was the honeypot, but it looks like Element is the real one. Signal doesn’t even have analytics, or barely something that we should be afraid of.

    Isn’t Element open source?

    As long as it’s opt-in and they don’t harass you I don’t see the problem.

    Compare this to companies that make this stuff opt-out and put the setting behind several menus and “really, are you sure you want to take money from me, I mean are you really really sure?” confirmations, then reactivate it at the next update.

    basically everyone these days ask you analytics, the best you can do is saying no and use open source stuff
