EDIT: (almost forgot to add this ) i want a server that doesn’t need an email
for sign up. (would also appreciate if it didn’t have captcha but if every good
one does have captch requirement i wouldn’t mind much) Also bonus question :
suggest some groups in which you can join that discusses movies and tv. Thanks
for the responses in advance . Chao. EDIT: This is a genuine question i want an
answer for and i don’t know where else to post this if you are going to down
vote atleast give an explanation.
Cross posted from technologies . Sorry just really need answers. And they seem to just enjoy down voating at the moment .
Not in the technical sense. I mean you can choose if your data packets traverse the Atlantic, but I don’t think that’s noticeable in a messenger. It changes the legislation, though. Since you mentioned security and privacy as goals… There are laws server admins have to abide to. And these laws vary greatly amongst countries. For example the whole EU has stricter privacy laws than most of the US. And there are things like lawful interception, the intelligence apparatus and general surveillance. I’d keep that in my mind when looking for the most secure server.
Thanks
You might want to use https://servers.matrix.org filter by “Longstanding” and maybe your country and read the privacy policies.
If you google you also find people’s recommendations like on https://tatsumoto-ren.github.io/blog/list-of-matrix-servers.html Maybe check those.
Does the country your in matter when using a server ?
