What you wrote is simply wrong.
Signal encrypt metadata to the best of their capacity. On the contrary matrix, xmpp, telegram, WhatsApp don’t (unless sth changed since last year)
For example on my matrix server I could read the IP, username and time of each message.
Element had a lot of issue last time i’ve tested it: push notification issue, convulated ui, e2e encryption disabled by default, slow server.
I had my own server for a while for my SO and I and we often missed each other messages plus the client was draining my phone battery.
I love the briding capacity of matrix, I woulf like to spend an evening setting that up in order to aggregate all those messaging apps but I’m afraid it’s not worth it.
What a shit way to live indeed.

Such surveillance law were never passed to save the children or prevent terrorism.
