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