Kind of ironic considering that with Matrix...
... Etc.
Ironically, older federated messaging systems like XMPP might be better by coincidence. Message archiving was an optional addition and some servers, such as the popular Riseup one, do not implement it.
Yeah, fair. It can't delete your messages to the extent a centralized system, and that's an indication of the lack of centralized control? It's a different threat model I think many find satisfying (though perhaps not most).
All those points are about how one server communicates with itself. Federation doesn't factor into it
huh, yeah that's fair i did not actually notice that :/
