I haven't hosted my own matrix server yet. is it safe to join an instance? I don't really know how private that would be. the question is when I signup/login would I be giving out my IP? is the metadata private? sorry for asking this, I'm just a bit paranoid

Mirage supports multiple accounts. It's still in alpha but worth keeping an eye on. Most features work (including E2EE), but a couple are missing (emoji reactions aren't shown/usable, and if someone edits a message it is instead shown as a new message).
Fractal currently does not support E2EE or multiple accounts, but E2EE is coming in their new branch (Fractal-next) and multiple accounts are on their to-do.

because element is the most complete with features. only needs to implement TOR and Multiple accounts. and then I'm sold. for privacy and simplicity, I'll just use xmpp
