After > It’s also fair that in a multi-server federated model, users naturally tend to sign up on the most prominent server(s) (e.g. the matrix.org homeserver in the case of Matrix). In practice, the matrix.org homeserver currently makes up about 35% of the visible Matrix network by active users. they explain how they are working to counter the effect: > In practice, we’re looking into solving metadata protection in Matrix by experimenting with hybrid P2P / Client Server models - letting users store their metadata purely clientside if they so desire, and potentially obfuscating who’s talking to who via mixnets of blinded store & forward servers (more about this coming up at FOSDEM). Combined with nomadic accounts, this would let us eventually turn off the matrix.org server entirely and eliminate the pseudo-centralisation effect - the default ‘server’ would be the one running on your client. This wasn't a vague "someday" claim, either; here's the most recent talk about the work they're doing: https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/matrix_p2p_pinecone/ https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/matrix_p2p_pinecone/
