    Less than some. The US gov has a history of forcing US-based corporations to disclose private data regardless of their policies or the law.

    I can’t give you a good alternative though. I’m sure the same thing happens in many countries

      A good alternative is a federated, selfhosted solution hosted in a jurisdiction unfriendly to yours.

        If you want to self-host chat, Conduit (implementation of a Matrix server) is really nice. Much better than the official Matrix implementation (Synapse).

          Yes!! I hosted it, indeed much lighter on resources! Broke encrypted rooms a few times, but overall was fine. However, it lacks deletion of old media and messages, so I broke it while trying to delete big media one by one (it broke displaying of ALL media). And when I reinstalled, a reinstall just didn’t launch. So… While it is 100% on me, feels like it’s still not the optimal solution if you’re constrained on disk space.
