## Personal questions
### Personal questions
### Why so many accounts?
#### Why so many accounts?
In my opinion it's preferable to have multiple accounts on different homeservers for ensuring decentralisation instead of having a single authority in power and being able to issue commands from multiple servers in case of federation meltdown which multiple rooms experienced during the period of room version 9 before homeserver software started to nag on unintentionally open registration refusing to start. Additionally state resets are a good reason to keep old accounts around.
### Why do you use Matrix URI scheme instead of matrix.to?
#### Why do you use Matrix URI scheme instead of matrix.to?
I dislike matrix.to as a concept. It's a centralized service on decentralized protocol and in my opinion it shows lack of self-esteem on Matrix side considering neither XMPP or IRC require something like it, both of those trust being known or handled appropiately.
### Why does one of your accounts have capital letter in the username?

### Which homeserver do you recommend?
#### Which homeserver do you recommend?
I am hesistant to recommend any. Finnish users may be interested in the [Linux.fi wiki listing](https://www.linux.fi/wiki/Matrix), everyone else may be served by [joinmatrix.org listing](https://joinmatrix.org/servers/).
### Why don't you run your own?
#### Why don't you run your own?
As can be read between the lines from my critiques, I don't consider any homeserver to be in the state that it's either safe to run legally or lightweight enough or not require constant maintenance as opposed to IRC which I do selfhost.
The world situation in general discourages me from anything as heavy.
