    Here’s a critical feature: Matrix bans people using a VPN. Fuck that. I joined a channel for the first time, said “Hello”, and was instantly banned for “Spam”.

    I have to use a VPN because I get my Internet from tethering my phone using EasyTether to make it look like phone data, and connecting to stuff like Windows Update would make it really obvious I’m doing so.

        Yeah, I think so. I downloaded the recommended app, connected to the recommended server, added a channel, tried to ask my question, and BAM! That was it.

          I think they’re just hyper-vigilante about spammers. They have been targeted with a lot of spam as the flagship server. Unfortunate that you had a bad experience your first time trying it.
