Heh, I wouldn't discount the use of goodwill shorteners like #Envs for badly formed URLs, as an exception. Although, when you copy from address bar, browsers would make sure to make link compatible with standard, so it's pretty rare you'd ever end up with such a URL.
I had to use URL shortener yesterday to satisfy Youtube's parsing of my Matrix.to channel link. But parser on Mastodon is OK.
Oh, that's a good one! I wanna give my insight as well. ✌️
I chose #Envs.net, because of various circumstances that would make experience on #Matrix more convenient and not feel like it's deficient.
So, I did an explainer this September about what criteria took place in deciding where I would host #dRCM for #devRant folks. Please look at it in my README: https://github.com/drcmatrix/drcm#why-is-everything-drcm-hosted-on-envsnet :rickhey:
TL;DR: how instance is kept on legs, presence support, signup process, version.
