Yeah its not clear to me what matrix 2.0 is either, seems like spec changes?
Yes, Matrix is the protocol. Element is one of many clients supporting said protocol, and synapse is one of many servers supporting said protocol.
What do you find WTF about it?
It's a bit unclear to me what you refer to with "their argument". What argument exactly?
At horrendous expense, yes. Using it for OCR makes little sense. And compared to just sending the text directly, even OCR is expensive.
I'd say the main differences are at least
- package availability
- update frequency
- backporting
- packaging philosophy (e.g. plain upstream vs customizations, include all funtionality in single packege vs split out optional features)
- default confguration for packages
There is no general copyright issue with AIs. It completely depends on the training material (if even then), so it's not possible to make blanket statements like that. Banning technology, because a particular implementation is problematic, makes no sense.
How is that different then e.g. patching a closed-sourced binary? There are plenty of community patches to old games to e.g. make them work on newer hardware. Architectural independence seems irrelevant, it's no different than e.g Java bytecode.
There is a big difference between "is unable to maintain bots due to lack of skills" and "is unable to maintain bots due to lack of time and motivation".
If you train them to cross the border illegally, what would stop the from turning right back and using those skills to get into Estonia again?
Discord has a weird and confusing definition of "server". The equivalent in Matrix would be "spaces" but they are not very commonly used (and I'm not sure there is a public list). Instead Matrix is most often used with individual rooms.
Due to the distributed nature of Matrix it is actually impossible to create a complete list of public rooms. However, one probably fairly complete list can be found at https://view.matrix.org/. Most clients have room search built-in, so you would rarely need that list
Probably works well if you are an established company, but why would e.g. a startup pick licensing headaches over the competition? I imagine bigger companies would also rather just move to e.g. CDK or ARM if they don't need multiple providers (at least our company started discussing this today).
What kind of "custom licensing" do you anyway think a 5-person startup would get?

You can self-host it, making it as private as you want.
