I haven’t hosted my own matrix server yet. is it safe to join an instance? I don’t really know how private that would be. the question is when I signup/login would I be giving out my IP? is the metadata private? sorry I’m just a bit paranoid

    I tried this a few times, but for me it never worked reliably. Are you using it as a day-to-day kind of thing? Family and friends?

      yeah, I think It’s best on a zombie apocalypse, or a mass surveillance one. since messages can only be sent when both peers are online
