Throughout my time using Lemmy, I have learned about the populations of a bunch of different instances and have made accounts on several different ones based on what I find. However, I’m about to make a Matrix account and this is a whole new ball game. Which server should I choose/avoid making my account on? Does it really matter as much as it does on Lemmy?
Just matrix.org, like some kind of pleb.
I only have an account so I could join in one room, and that’s the server that the room was on, so I decided to keep things simple.
This is the exact problem with the Fediverse. The first thing you need to do is make a decision for which the consequences are unknown. It’s overwhelming and off-putting.
Irc still. No matrix so far.
Why’s that? Simplicity and low overhead? Or is it an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situation?
Irc works fine, people I know are there, and matrix has always seemed too attention -seeky for my tastes.
Hm. Elaborate on that. I’m trying to learn more about the space.
I set up my own because I don’t want to be dependent on someone else.
Normally matrix servers don’t block each other they let their users do it instead.
