I've heard Matrix was involved in some crypto bullshit and military operations of some sort. I want an alternative but Matrix is just shady enough all around for me to stay the hell away.
It’s FOSS that should be enough
Sorry, I don't knowingly support crypto bros or war profiteers if I can help it. Plus if in looking for an alternative to a bad service, I'm not gonna give cadence to the platform already doing shitty stuff, just for it all to crash again once that one gains traction.
