There's a segment in the This Week In Matrix section of the Matrix.org blog called Dept. of Ping which lists a few fast homeservers you might want to consider. They may not have open registration though. A few good ones with open registration follow:

name	run by	more information
fairydust.space	fredl, MacLemon	TOR-friendly, claims to be privacy-minded
diasp.in	Indian Pirates, Hamara Linux
Tchncs	Milan	one-person tech collective
apothecary.club	run by Kája+2	hosted on Hetzner.de services, has a handful of mods

You can find a list of more homeservers here: wiki.asra.gr/en:public_servers

Home servers you probably MAY NOT want to consider are listed here with three green letters: Glowers Club recommended homeservers – Glowers Club is a shitposting community annoying other people, spamming and promoting offensive content and harboring incels and edgelords without any sense of decency. This is for example documented on their enemies page.

There was a security breach in April 2019. An attacker gained access to the [matrix] installation at matrix.org.

Later the Matrix.org team hired security consultants and published a blog article about the remediation of the issues found by said consultants.

Max Dor found out that there were some GDPR and privacy issues with Matrix.
