Yeah. This is ignoring the fact that not only did they live in the same house, but also the adults used to have the absolute authority over their children. Living standards changed and it's okay. Even now, my parents dread me living with them as an adult because that would mean me never becoming fully independent.

It's proprietary and centralized. No practical difference. IRC and XMPP are the way.

I'd be uncomfortable tying my reading to my KYC :/
I've heard of them in the context of screwing over people who want an easy income: they're promised some pennies for their connection being used, then find themselves banned from Netflix and Spotify for "being on a VPN".
Also, isn't this where scrapers come from? Edit: just a short while after writing this, saw the news about FOSS projects being DDOSed by AI scrapers from Amazon and such. Yes, they are indeed using such residential IPs.

Too bad it's only for a handful of Western countries :( I hoped I wouldn't have to look up bus arrivals in the browser anymore.
A smaller one than that. But yeah, fair - Reddit does deny me entry from it.
One of the reasons I use a VPS rather than a commercial VPN.
The main difference is that in Matrix, a chat's history and media is stored indefinitely on every participating server, while on XMPP it's only the duty of the one "hosting" it. And to my understanding, in 1-to-1 chats, the server doesn't even retain the messages after delivering them, since there's a separate module for "syncing" the history between devices (that you can set the retention time for).
And even if you do manage to get far enough - until your parents veto your choice of a partner.
