I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

That sort of telemetry should be opt in, not opt out
Not telemetry? Continuwuity just uses it to post release announcements to the admin room; I think there’s a way to disable it if you prefer.
It’s not telemetry.
while i don’t want to throw shade on the developers’ intentions, nor have any real proof of what data is being kept, a fetch request bears by minimum the source ip (which can be geolocated) and the fact that the homeserver exists and runs continuwuity.
i’d suggest a matrix channel as alternative, so hosters can opt-in by joining. plus, by leveraging the matrix protocol, such announcements become federated push notifications, meaning they could come from any homeserver (limiting ip logging) and don’t imply the continued existence of such deployment, or the software which is being run
even converting such mechanism to an opt-out “auto-join announcements channel” would be more privacy respecting
