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

    Yes, but Matrix leaks way more metadata to other servers

    FUD, Matrix doesn’t leak any more data than XMPP in that regard. Admins of either service can know what rooms you’re in and information about events such as time they were sent.

    XMPP isn’t any better in this regard.

      Not FUD, Matrix syncs entire chats to all involved servers, unlike XMPP. This post explains and links to why Matrix does leak more data than XMPP in this regard.

      Also, using the term FUD makes you seem stupid.
