“Signal is being blocked in Venezuela and Russia. The app is a popular choice for encrypted messaging and people trying to avoid government censorship, and the blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries…”

          I mean, that’s not specific to Matrix. Telemetry is the tool used to get the numbers, so I don’t see how you would collect numbers on servers that don’t report numbers.

            Im surprised there are zero calls to any official matrix server(s) from those instances.

            Not even random API for metadata, update status, etc?

            Telemtry is a word. It only means as much as it means in each context, and without full context it means little atm.

            Do you have a resource where I could learn more about what data Matrix considers telemetry?

              The whole point of not being federated is not to call the other servers. I don’t run a server but I hope it’s not calling home if specifically configured to not be federated.
