It’s more that “whoever built your client has the keys to send push to it, so your synapse calls home to them.” And yes, that means that paranoid types need their own clients, and that is indeed a service that Element offers.
- brokenmachine 3y agoJust to clarify that... I'm pretty sure the notification doesn't actually contain any of the message though, it's just a notification to check the server for new messages.
- btobolaski 3y agoDoesn't the use of ntfy change this (Android only, I think)? Homeserver pushes to an ntfy topic, app on phone is listening to that topic. Of course, this just moves the intermediary to ntfy but you can also host a different ntfy server which I hope element supports.

- xorcist 3y agoThanks for sharing. Are you switching back because of pricing, or reliability issues?
