Even if you run your own instance, it still sends data to the main homeserver.
...That's how federation works. You think my Lemmy instance isn't sending data to lemmy.ml when I'm subscribed to a dozen communities on lemmy.ml? If you don't want your home server to share data with matrix.org, then don't federate with it.

Agreed here, but Matrix had centralized password verification for example, which is plain horrible. They've begun fixing things, but it's still very much lacking.
