Signal is aware of the blocks.

“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.

        But you would miss all the numbers from non-federated instances.

      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.
