    But I’d also view a singular commercial company’s no-cost product as not being a long term bet on privacy/anonymity.

    Oh I completely agree with the idea that a federated service, like Matrix [1], is far preferable to a centralized one, eg Discord [2]; I have no issue with using Matrix (I personally use it extensively) I just think one should be careful with the idea of using it with the intent of being anonymous.
