Oh god no.

The fediverse is not suited for E2EE IM.

If you require secrecy, anonimity or privacy, use something dessigned for it.

Isn't matrix technically fediverse?

[–] SrEstegosaurio@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Matrix is a federated IM platform. But it does not use ActivityPub, they use their own protocol.

I have mixed feelings regarding matrix.

@SrEstegosaurio A bit OT, but what's not to like about Matrix? I'm curious as I was seriously considering to try it out.

For me, the biggest turndown is the way they handle metadata
