At the same time, people used IRC because you could remain anonymous (with IP leakage being the only real issue). Matrix seems like a FBI honeypot asking you for email and phone number.
- joepie91_ 5y agoAs stated above, these are completely optional and only used for contact discovery (and password resets in the case of e-mail). Edit: Though I believe that matrix.org requires an e-mail address nowadays. But most homeservers don't.
- stryan 5y agomatrix.org does not, though it does have a prompt for e-mail on registration page. There's a line of text under it explaining that this is for optional opt-in contact discovery and password resets.
- joepie91_ 5y agoHmm, I've been hearing mentions of it being required since recently. But then I haven't tried it myself, so I may be wrong.
