In this video, Rob Braxman argues that most Matrix users use either Matrix.org or Element.io servers (may have gotten the names wrong). Matrix is a federation in theory but not in practice, so it's not good for privacy. What do you think?

I think the German Army and the French Police is already putting in place their own infrastructure and the company I work for might do so withing a year or two if we want.

Also, should anyone get banned from mainstream messenger because they live in the wrong country or have the wrong opinions they can run their own.

This is a huge step forward :-)

The main matrix instance is overloaded and slow so plenty of active people use other instances. Though, most people probably sign up on the main instance.
