I just had to go and look this up to get more details

Looks like you need to be hosting your own server, then you can install plugins for separate services. Very cool..
I'd love to tie together a few different systems I'm using but I worry that the bridges will break every time a platform does an update
Have long have you been using it? How's your experience been? What bridges are you using?
You don't have to host your own, just join an instance with bridges. That being said, running your own is easy and nice with docker, including the bridges.
Where would be a good starting point to check out a list of instances with these bridges? And how safe are they?
Beeper is a paid Matrix server that neatly integrates with many other chat services using a custom GUI specifically designed for integration with third party apps.
There's a free tier but there will be a paid tier eventually
