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.

    wait for the free trial, sign up with it using like a gift card that has a few cents on it or an empty paypal account. trial lasts like 2 weeks but you’ll get more than a month as they email you daily “we can’t charge your account, you’ll lose nitro in 3 weeks”

    Repeat this every time they offer you a trial, which they will, without verifying that you’ve already had a free trial. I’ve had Nitro for months doing this and have never paid them a dime.

        The higher file size limitations are pretty handy for sending videos and high res pictures in chat

          I’d rather not deal with those arbitrary limitations. And be nickel-and-dimed at every turn.

          Haha, hey at least you recognize it for what it is. Can’t knock you for that. Eff it, enjoy your animated avatar. Don’t let anyone take that away from you.

            Actually, I privately think ill of someone when I see they have Nitro, because I don’t care for the corporation ever since they took My username
