I wanna know if MATRIX recipients know my IP, and more globally what the recipients know about me (how the matrix protocol works). THX

      So Matrix protocol is bad because criminals use it to distribute illegal content. That’s the same as saying Tor is bad because people use it to do illegal things on the dark web. Matrix is just a protocol which powers a decentralized network. Is it better to have proprietary centralised platforms where a small number of people control everything?

        Do a lot of reading. Get a cyber informations systems basics overview on your own self-teaching before you try to understand it all.

        Stay away from session and matrix. Signal, Nostr, SimpleX (nvm if you use Apple products) and the like are okay, but they are all hobbyist influencable products besides Signal which gets fat government grants and just happens to use the same encryption standards as all other huge name E2EE tools.

        Stuff is fun to learn on, but get a good VPN (debates about… mullvad, ivpn, cryptostorm seem okay). here’s something fun for you and free: https://www.thc.org/segfault/
