It’s 2026… Why do people insist on skipping the fact that XMPP exists?
Anyway. Just set up XMPP.
Why does nobody like matrix? I get setup maybe used to be hard but I personally used ansible playbook and its really noon friendly and simple

@Arda @lambalicious because the experience is truly garbage. Not only does it not scale and is slow (I stopped running a server years ago, but the resources it consumed was obnoxious), but the clients often do silly things like say they're waiting for a key refresh so it can't decrypt the message yet. I still have to use it for work unfortunately.
I only host for my family and me otherwise use public servers, for that my server never consumed much resources at all and I never ran into these key issues people mention. I’ve been hosting it for 6 months. Idk despite it all Matrix just checks all the correct boxes is it not worth using even with the issues you had?
