> Meanwhile, yes, Matrix took years to add encryption, but it works much better than Signal, even with quite a few small bugs.
I'm not sure which Matrix client you use, but clients like Riot don't even let you opt out of sending read receipts unless you edit `/etc/riot/config.json` to enable experiments and then go into the settings to disable read receipts. Problems like this (and issues like this [0]) give me the impression that Riot isn't designed for people who need privacy.
(Yes, there are other Matrix clients [1], but my understanding is that Riot is the flagship interface.)
