For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.

Note: illegal activities was for example. I'm not going to do anything illegal. I'm just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.

matrix leaks metadata to the servers much worse then signal, just FYI. Hating how a team runs is different then then risk profile of the product.

Don't like emotions cloud your decision making

I'm not hating. I just like keeping my half encrypted data on my own server instead of fully encrypted on someone else's server.

well, your own server and every other server you've ever connected to.
