Reminder if one was needed that the future of your instant messaging shouldn't be above all "the same thing, but with more crypto" (e.g. Signal), but "less centralisation, then a reasonable amount of crypto" (federation e.g. XMPP or P2P ; though I don't know a P2P solution that's recommendable).

I wanted to believe in Matrix as well, but after a few years, I basically agree with all these takes:

How long have you been around to still believe Matrix's empty promises?

Sorry, this is admittedly a harsh response, but not out of the blue…

AIVD is the dutch intelligence agency. So that's an interesting source!

They're not hacking the systems directly, just phishing by the looks of it.
