If you care about privacy and security, matrix has some glaring flaws. The biggest IMO is not currently encrypting metadata, so who you talk to and when is plaintext. The signal protocol encrypts everything, including the meta data.
How does the server know who to deliver a message to if the metadata is encrypted?

I care about privacy and security so much that I don’t let a third-party own my chats, encrypted or not. I’m fine with unencrypted metadata on my server that’s in my own home.

Better yet, check out simplex chat https://simplex.chat/
It's the best of all...user friendly as well:)

And it appears to have support on @yunohost - So self hosting should be easy 👍

Isn't this largely mitigated by running your own homeserver?
That's just privacy, not security.
