Because encryption doesn't work for rooms over 50 people, so any room over that size is public by default. And most of the usage is the Matrix.org home server.
Even if I selfhost?
If you self-host, it's better, but it's still not great. The people would then know the IP address of your server that you were hosting it on, so you'd have to make sure it was a VPS and not done from home.
You could also put it behind a cloudflare proxy subdomain, right? That way it looks like the origin ip comes from cloudflare
Ugh, Yes, you could. But, Cloudflare.
What about using a normal, non-Cloudflare VPS for this?
