3 reasons you should host your own Matrix server
It's not a new movement, but taking back control from large corporations has been gaining momentum. Whether it's data storage, apps and services, or even communication. For the longest time, we've trusted big tech to handle messages, photos, and private conversations. But there's no ownership here. Whether it's WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, or Telegram, your messages sit on someone else's servers. Most of us made that trade willingly because of convenience. In return, you get polished apps, features, updates, and ubiquitous availability. But that same convenience is also a compromise.
