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

can you send me a link to the source for Element+TOR ? or can you make an example of how to use --proxy-server ?

See here. This is the issue tracking the UI for proxy too. The flag comes from Chromium; you can't use a http+password proxy though since Chromium doesn't support that too.
