Hi guys! So I've just discovered jitsi meet. My girlfriend might have a good use for this, as she's tired of the time limit for the free tier of Zoom. Plus, the most recent concerns regarding AI training. So, back to jitsi... Besides the obvious concern of running on other people's servers...is there any disadvantage to scheduling meetings over just by using https://meet.jit.si/? What are the advantages of self-hosting? Is there any extra feature I'd gain? Any limitation by using their online service?

Thanks!

Everyone on a call in the meet.jit.si instance is made a moderator, so if you want to be able to control that you have to self host. Other than that if reliability isn't a concern (not that I've ever seen that instance bogged down too bad) then you may as well use it. You can always host your own later on anyway.
