They should stop trying to do everything at once. This whole game of trying to maintain a huge server is nonsense for such a small team. I believe they should drop it completely and focus on improving the protocol and technologies around it to make it smoother for people to host their own servers.

Yeah matrix.org is just too damn big and thus centralizing the network quite a bit. You have to federate with matrix.org if you want anyone to be able to contact you on your instance since it's like 70% of matrix users.
they can't just close down a server used by lots of people
Why not?
Technically of course they can.
But doing that I'm pretty sure that would largely damage everyone's trust in them.
does anyone has trust on them?
the matrix.org homeserver has the most registered users
unfortunate
Just made a donation off the back of this. Thank you for posting
Just make a deal with Google, as Mozilla did /s
Don't give them ideas!!!
I wish I was rich so I could donate a bunch of money on the condition that they start encrypting the metadata
I don't believe that Vector ltd. is altruistic, I wouldn't donate to it
