like mastodon has this problem where the flagship instance is too big and thus the network isn't really distributed enough, but matrix is easily ten times worse
i've started down the path of spinning up a matrix homeserver a couple of times. it... did not go especially well, though it's been a while since i tried.
between that and the frankly totally unusable experience of work's effort at bridging matrix, slack, and irc, i'm pretty close to writing off the platform as a whole. i'd like to be wrong.
This is something where I think xmpp is way better than matrix: I can't say that maintaining an xmpp server (suitable for the 2020s) is trivial for anybody, but it is about as trivial and low effort as maintaining an https server for static pages.
Also, I think that the xmpp community has already been burned once by the issue of centralization on a few big servers, and has recovered in a much healthier environment of multiple smaller instances.
