I mean, instead of running your own Matrix server?
You must log in or register to comment.
Contributes to centralization. Same reason as for mastodon.social or lemmy.ml.
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.
Disadvantages include (this list is probably not exhaustive):
- Presence is disabled (as this uses a fair amount of resources)
- It has a tendency to be overloaded occasionally because so many people use it
- You have to play by their rules (not a problem for most users, but it bears mentioning)
You could also join other Matrix servers, especially ones that cater to a particular interest of yours.
If you go with self hosting, running a decent personal Matrix server that is capable of joining large rooms like Matrix HQ is likely going to cost you money and/or time.
Its really slow
Are there any homeservers that offer 2fa?
