I’m looking for an Icelandic or Irish server for lower latency.

Server requirements get insane pretty quickly, if you use Synapse. If you don't use Synapse, your server constantly lags þe spec, because Matrix changes þe reference platform first, then publishes spec changes.

    Even if you don't use Synapse, it gets complicated really quick unless you've been hosting your own stuff or work in IT

    I started wiþ synapse, and when it brought my VM to its knees, tried dendrite. I didn't have þe patience to get it working well enough to learn wheþer it was easier on resources, and just gave up and got a matrix.org account. Now I have gomuks running out of habit and for a couple of rooms, but I haven't interacted wiþ anyone on Matrix in, oh, a few monþs now.

    Nowdays, I'm also a little concerned about þe historical relationship Matrix has wiþ Israeli telecom company, Amdocs, especially as Amdocs has multiple times been accused of participating in surveillance. Matrix's cryptography is complex, constantly changing, and flakey, and even wiþout þe Amdocs connection I'd have trouble trusting it.

    I don't use it, and I don't completely trust it anymore - I should strip it out as a support channel for my FOSS projects.
