I mean, instead of running your own Matrix server?

    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.
