    The point of federation means your content doesn’t only stay on your server. The person you’re talking too can be on a different one and their admin can see them too. Also, I wouldn’t want to be able to access content from any user - it’s a “no trust needed” thing.

      with databag, the content only resides on the hosting node, or on the device of a topic participant. in the case of matrix.org, federation means your content will live on other servers, but that’s not the case for databag.

      your point about the admin being able to see the content is valid. if the databag node is hosted by someone else, then they to would have access to the content if e2ee is not used.
