Big deal, just self host in a VPS if you’re willing to pay $$$.
Don’t make the mistake though of self hosting (Dendrite) as it will just choke, in my case it was a single user instance subscribed to only a handful of channels but apparently that was too much for my server to load messages in any manner that would be considered quick.
I’ve self hosted several services at once on there but apparently Matrix is just too heavy too handle compared to other things.

Looks like the upper Midwest might be ok, at least for now.
I never really understood why people can’t piece together the information that is presented to them instead of just taking things at face value. Is media literacy not taught at all in schools? You can read anything on the internet and use your rational mind (if you are educated so) to filter out the truths. If you can’t verify something just find other sources saying the same thing, at least then perhaps you can work off probabilities/likelihood.
I know many people read on like a 10th grade level, so I guess I see the importance of trust, as those people likely just read headlines and not the content, and definitely don’t analyse.
Nailed it. John_McMurray is another joke of an example of someone on the right.
