It is defined by the instance's admin generally.

Try to ask your IT guy, maybe he'll know more about this!

It does, currently waiting to be either invited to lobsters or for the registrations to open again.

I see the only use of 3PIDs in a professional setting where people have to find co-workers using emails or internal phone numbers.

In my opinion, it is really useless for anyone else.

You know that the identity server is not mandatory and is only useful in a professional setting right?

If you really want to, you can host it yourself.

Yes, this is really sad to see that much people in the OSS scene using nonfree ways to communicate.

At least, IRC had open-source servers and clients but in my opinion, it's too old nowadays.

You need to change the homeserver url to another one. There is a list here https://www.hello-matrix.net/public_servers.php

Also what do you mean by "That are always full and require invite" ?
