Most people use it to talk to people outside their household

Hybrid cloud and multi cloud has been a buzzword for a bit.
Colocation or in-housing with your own clusters is slowly getting more practical, as long as you're not dependent on a bunch of vendor specific APIs. Much less effort to port things that are already in containers.
You're still trusting the other user's server regarding a lot of metadata
Right wingers are being taught to believe all pushback against the beliefs fed to them are illegitimate and personal attacks, it's cult like behavior to make it harder for them to learn and change.
Reddit admins are insanely biased towards right wingers. They talk about the same free speech bullshit while only allowing one side to speak freely.
They tolerated brigades organized by them for years despite brigades being prohibited, they allowed T_D to absolutely dominate the front page by vote manipulation until a huge majority of the site got too outraged (that's when the 2 post cap/day per sub was set, along with ignoring votes on pinned posts). T_D screamed and screamed and screamed about being censored when that happened (nothing was even removed), and everybody else was happy reddit FINALLY AFTER YEARS did something, anything, to make the site a bit more usable again. Tons of left leaning subs were banned long before they ever touched any far right extremism.
The left wing bias you might have seen comes from moderators who actually have expertise on their subjects (like science subreddits), not from the admins
Insanity. You're telling yourself that the groups which prides itself on hate are more receptive to you than groups which promotes cooperation and understanding? Maybe ask a psychiatrist what that says about you. You're supposed to be tolerant to people who act in good faith, but nobody must be tolerant to hate.
The right is full of infighting too, but it's about who is the most devoted to the dear leader. Challenge their arguments openly and you'll see them act far worse than any leftist you've ever seen.
I hate them.
I run a cryptography forum on reddit (now here too). On reddit it's /r/crypto. Before the random suggested usernames every spam operation had to make up their own random username scheme. They ended up being mostly distinguishable because they used patterns normal people didn't. Now? A ton of users with limited activity are now indistinguishable from bots. So the subreddit has to be in restricted mode so only approved users can post, and for anybody with ambiguous post history I have to send them a request for more detail to be able to keep spammers out while still allowing genuine newbies to join to ask questions. Otherwise the spam volume just ends up being way too intense.
Sealed sender does depend on some degree on trust, but with the architecture being designed for multi-server cloud and message passing with minimal logging, no single server knows both the sender and receiver when sealed sender is used, which also makes it harder for anybody trying to compromise the servers to collect that kind of metadata because you have to compromise a lot of them to have a good chance of deanonymizing your target. That's likely to be noisy.
Matrix also expects you to trust the server to a degree.
Got to go fully Tor/I2P secured P2P to avoid that.
Never even heard of that one.
The only thing the site says is it's using Salsa20 (a stream cipher) but says literally nothing about key exchanges, key validation, etc.
If China escalates to cause war in Asia when other countries are sufficiently pissed off by them trying to steal territory and harass others non-stop, then that plus a potential Chinese real estate market collapse could cause pretty serious problems in the region.
Yes, but it's incompetence of the management who won't approve of putting important IT hardware in a protected space
Like the Elon flight tracker?
