Matrix.org server is definitely the main network today, but it’s very busy and has had some stability / performance challenges. I like the idea of a community driven network that is independent of the network vendor and focused on open source solely rather than all types of communities. Choice is a good thing although I admit competition is tough.
In terms of self hosting, I guess the same argument applies why don’t open source projects just set up their own IRC server. Whilst Matrix (Synapse) is easy to set up, there is still a barrier of entry. Fossnode aims to be a curated network of the best open source communities that love Matrix in one place.
- georgyo 6y ago> Fossnode aims to be a curated network of the best open source communities that love Matrix in one place. Curated is a dangerous word. I believe you meant self-curating, IE people and groups who are self-selecting and choose to be on your server. But curated can also mean that their is some gatekeeper(s) than chooses which projects are "worthy." IE: wikipedia is curated, I cannot create (and not have deleted) a wiki article about my dog because it isn't worthy, despite him being the best thing in the world to me. If it is the latter, that needs to be made super clear up front, especially the criteria.
