I have questions about matrix/element.Does it leak metadata if so what does it leak?I have heard that it only shows who you are talking to but not what you are saying.

Yea I am using XMPP but was just asking
Ah, compared to XMPP with OMEMO enabled there is really hardly any advantage of Matrix in my view. But give it a try and see yourself. Selfhosting Synapse is a PITA though.
Edit: also once Movim supports OMEMO soon™, then Matrix also does not have the advantage of a nicer webclient anymore ;)
The biggest reason why I asked this is because a privacy advocate The Hated One made a video about how Signal was kinda going downhill and how he was talking about matrix for a little bit but I was thinking “Doesnt matrix leak metadata?”.
It really depends on your specific setup and thread model. I think Matrix has its place, but personally prefer XMPP. With Signal you basically hand over all your metadata to the NSA anyways, so you might as well go with Matrix then :p
Matrix saves metadata on your server, inside your database and you can disable federation, so only your server will have your data. In such case you are limited to users and groups on your server
