Correct me if I am wrong, but this means that you have to trust the people running the bridging server with not just the content of your messages but your account identity/login information as well?
- jakecopp 5y ago> with not just the content of your messages Yes, for bridged chats. Matrix <-> Matrix direct & group chats are E2E by default. > but your account identity/login information as well Yes, however identity/login does not permit access to E2E messages (and cross signing prevents E2E compromise [1]). Matrix supports migrating accounts to other servers [2] while keeping your data/social graph (depending on your history viewability settings I believe, someone please correct me if I'm wrong!).
