Among others:
> Users cannot be deleted
> This is simply not an option in the API. Server admin can perform a "deactivate" (disable login) and "erase" (remove related data, which claims to be GDPR-compliant) on user accounts, but the accounts themselves stay on the server forever.
LOL.
Here is my take on why you should trash Matrix and use XMPP, or ta least Signal instead:
