I mean, instead of running your own Matrix server?

One advantage I found was the ability to run my own bridges, which allow you to connect Matrix to other services, like Signal, LinkedIn, or Telegram.

Is there a dependency on the instance, will it be blocked otherwise? I have activated the bridge to Telegram and Discord for my channels in the channel itself.

most bridges are appservices, which must be hardcoded in Synapse(/Dendrite/Conduit/...) config

Otherwise depend on what is called a "non-puppeting bridge", self-hosted bot that reposts messages on behalf of itself. Problem is, reactions and other multi-agent interactions won't be a subject for bridging. If you absolutely need those, you have to host a Matrix server (like optimized, but unstable, Conduit or the hungry Synapse) or partner up with another server owner to activate your appservice...
