That's good insights.

My take on this one is that, apart from Jitsi itself, Framatalk is the
other directly available and mostly recognized platform. So, in the end,
I am quite positive no one did found out the TDF instance. But I maybe
completely wrong on that.

Indeed, I think someone here can provide data.

The point there was not on quality of the line of the client, but much
more on load capacity on each client. It seems (but indeed, I am
reporting here a rumor more than an empirical statement) that having
more people in the chat "hinders" the CPU and RAM of the single PC of
the participants at the point that this PC is not going to cope with the
traffic and at the same time slows down the whole instance. I'm not so
convinced on this position, either.
