    One advantage I found was the ability to run my own bridges, which allow you to connect Matrix to other services, like Signal, LinkedIn, or Telegram.

      Is there a dependency on the instance, will it be blocked otherwise? I have activated the bridge to Telegram and Discord for my channels in the channel itself.

        most bridges are appservices, which must be hardcoded in Synapse(/Dendrite/Conduit/…) config
