The bridge and the home server are separate things.
So if you run the home server somewhere untrusted, but the bridge in your home with E2EE enabled, the decryption AFAIK happens in the bridge, and the home server doesn't see anything.
- zaik 4y agoI doubt many users will host their own bridge. Also at least for XMPP I was not able to encrypt messages to Matrix users end-to-end or bridge-to-end, so I'd still recommend using XMPP with E2EE directly.
- jacooper 4y agoOf course, its not going to be perfect like being on the same platform. But its definitely better than falling back to SMS and maybe better than having all chat apps installed. (Even though I still think Element isn't good enough)
