How do you people make the screenshots of popups in Firefox? Every time I press Print Screen they just keep fading away.

Sending a tinsy-winsy appreciation to how you handle this dialog. Smooth. ๐ŸŽฉ

Disabled presence can be an advantage to some privacy-conscious users, so a case for matrix.org can be made for them - especially if they don't chat much anyway.

Otherwise depend on what is called a "non-puppeting bridge", self-hosted bot that reposts messages on behalf of itself. Problem is, reactions and other multi-agent interactions won't be a subject for bridging. If you absolutely need those, you have to host a Matrix server (like optimized, but unstable, Conduit or the hungry Synapse) or partner up with another server owner to activate your appservice...

A lot. Of. Downtimes...

If you want to make a set of private rooms that you want to be available at all times, I certainly don't recommend matrix.org.

Yep! The same image flashed back in my mind.

Wherever the app's code is on. I usually go around finding the link in the store page or through the search engine. Most of the time, they end up on GitHub and GitLab, sometimes on Codeberg or other instance.

Paranoid section ahead: Don't blindly trust the issues list, closed or open, because there are still ways to permanently delete those, hence giving bad actor a way to hide evidence of the on-going security problem.

I look at the latest release date. At leisure time, I would also go and check repository and issue tracker to see whether something serious is being ignored. If it's crucial for business, I would spare time investigating the source code itself.

I would not necessarily say that many apps uploaded to F-Droid and other repositories are unsafe, because I don't have all that energy to audit anything I use. What helps me to stay on the safe side is reading into things - enclosed descriptions and names may look like a small factor to some, once they tread the sources, but it saves me both the time and trouble. Sloppily written stuff usually implies a sloppy code, a lax attention to details on the developer's side.
