To make it clear to those who are misunderstanding: that's a list of companies that host matrix for you. They do it at a good price.

If you and your friends chip, it'll be a few bucks a pop per month to have your own private server with voice chat rooms and video chat rooms.

It's all opensource and contributes to the ecosystem. Best of all, no age verification because the data is yours.

Any providers that have hosted Matrix servers?

That's the link of the post ๐Ÿค” It seems like you're not the only one mistunderstanding that. Why is that?

Oh I see it now. It looks really close to like an ad that my brain immediately filtered it out, sorry about missing that.

No problem. I wasn't sure how to frame it. It just bothers me that people are willing to pay for closed source stuff, but as soon as it comes to opensource it must be free and have all the features, otherwise they won't use it.
