Isn’t this the same limitation of any federated platform? If you communicate with someone from a different instance your data will be replicated on their instance
What’s a better alternative? Which other platforms are you referring to? How do they compare in terms of features and adoption? From all the decentralised, e2e encrypted platforms I tried, matrix is the only one more or less accessible for normies.
That wouldn’t apply to conversations you have within a group that hosts their own server, would it? Like within a family or a club.
If anyone in your group has an account is hosted on Matrix.org, yes. If no one is, no.
But that puts a huge limitation on the platform so, why bother?

No, not all platforms store metadata, much less absolutely all of it unencrypted. Further, other platforms are less centralized.
