Some interesting details about element.io / Matrix.org.
IMHO, there are of course worse alternatives, but people should really not recommend it over something like XMPP that works just as well and is also federated.

Yeah good point. However, it is also true that the Matrix develpers have massively down-played such and similar issues.
Edit: and yeah, I don’t think the Matrix developers are acting on bad faith. In fact the above article also claims the opposite: just no focus on privacy. And in addition I would say a lot of incompetence as well, looking at their code-quality otherwise.
