this is frankly really scary. if you're in a socialist org, please make sure that they're not so lax with security like this. also, why the actual fuck are they using google products. we are fucking doomed here in the west man. To be clear I think this is probably more on the local chapter of your org than the national org, but even then I really think national orgs need to be giving out a lot more training about this kind of thing, and quite frankly booting out the leadership of local chapters if they're lax like this.

PSL security culture: I left almost a year ago, their members locally know I don’t like them, but I’m still in some shared folder where I can see sensitive event and recruiting information

I highly recommend to the people joining orgs to take serious steps and ask questions around security. What if this got into the wrong hands? Out of courtesy I’m censoring the names. I have plenty more screenshots of events in case they try to refute this but I recommend they just hold this L quietly

Other than current traction towards matrix marketing, why do so few people use XMPP? Most people just sign up for the matrix.org accounts which are hosted in Britain. One can use one of the other Matrix hosts, but I don't understand why people use matrix instead of XMPP.

Encryption was an afterthought with xmpp, whereas matrix was designed with encryption first. Xmpp has encryption as an extension, but not all clients support it.

XMPP is cool but so many things that you'd expect to be standard are extensions that both the Server and all the Clients need to have installed and enabled. Also some XMPP clients don't support all extensions and some extensions also require third party software and extra setup. Matrix just works.

That being said signing up to matrix.org is cringe. Absolutely host your own homeserver.
