That sounds reasonable assuming it’s instance-specific and is a function of hosting cost.
Any instance should be able to set a price to help pay the bills.
again, as with telegram, the shit I give zero fucks about (the groups, rooms, channels, whathaveyous) are encroaching on the things I give a ton of fucks about - the private, 1-on-1 comms. what are the odds this will be the only thing they’ll freemiumise in the long term?
anyone successfully managed to import chat history from one instance to another? heard it’s possible, don’t know of anyone actually doing it.
While your concern is valid, it is instance specific. They can turn their whole instance paid, make it pay per message. The point of federation and an open standard is exactly that the user doesn’t have to give a f. matrix.org is not the only homeserver and user has the power to make their own homeserver as well.

what do you consider importing?
you can invite another account of yours into the DM room. then export all encryption keys in your old account, and import them in the new one, and now you should be seeing your old encrypted messages. if the room stopped being treated as a DM room after the invite, you can kick your old account and execute the /converttodm command or something like that in element web.
@glitching @cypherpunks
you prefer telegram over matrix?
greetings to vladimier.you lack reading comprehension.
Hosting your own homeserver is quite easy.
On a debian-VM you can install it via debian-package… (without mas and bridges… ok)And having your own matrix-server is best controll and data-souvereignity.
installing it is quite easy, if you have some linux-fu, but if you ask my admin its not easy to maintain.
popular channels on matrix.org often get bombed with horrible images, I welcome limits
I’m 100% for this, media storage costs a fortune
So easy to host your own instance idk why anyone uses matrix.org
no it is not easy, but there are many open instances so there’s that
I’m a software engineer, and am pretty privvy to self-hosting in docker, and hosting a matrix server + element has easily been the hardest service I’ve ever deployed. Most of my experience is in personal cloud/media streaming, so maybe I’m just doing the easy ones, but the matrix docker deployment is really unrefined compared to other services
How so?
Ok for me If it’s media size related. As storing media requires more storage than text.
