Questions for people that manage a Matrix home server for large groups:
* How did you decide on hosting a homeserver yourself instead of registering a space on an open server?
* How time do you spend on maintenance?
* What are some failure modes that one should be aware of?
* How can one prevent becoming a spam-vector with open registration?
* How beefy does the server hardware have to be for a group of about 40 people that do regular video calls?
I am looking into Matrix as an alternative for a couple of Discord groups because of the recent age verification developments. Boosts appreciated! 馃檹
