To make it clear to those who are misunderstanding: that's a list of companies that host matrix for you. They do it at a good price.

If you and your friends chip, it'll be a few bucks a pop per month to have your own private server with voice chat rooms and video chat rooms.

It's all opensource and contributes to the ecosystem. Best of all, no age verification because the data is yours.

But instead it offers people to learn hosting and sysadmin stuff.

It does not. The post says paying for a hosted matrix server. That means you pay for somebody to host it. There's nothing more to it.

The full discord nitro plan costs 10$/month. That can get you a server for your friends and you can communicate with other servers. If everybody chips in, it's the cost of discord nitro minimum if you're 5 friends.

I think they're complaining you don't list where to host it/managed hosting.

That literally what the link provides
