the matrix server where i have my account, run by a small tech community with one admin recently had to switch from a blacklist to a whitelist approach in order to curb the amount of fake accounts and spam they were getting. as a side effect since that change i had to bother the admin multiple times because one of the groups i was participating in was not reachable. the amount of work the admin has in order to keep the server im shape is much more than i would be willing to tolerate.

on top of that not a month goes by where something doesn't break.

a security conscious friend who joined matrix because of me (well, he was interested before, but i finally gave him a reason) just deleted his matrix clients in disgust after some messages randomly could not be decrypted.

i suspect that there is still a problem on the server i am using, therefore more potential work for its already overworked admin.
