Comment on What's the best chat to self host?

XMPP most definitely! Especially if you want to have connectivity to other servers at all (like simplex). It’s much simpler, more well-known, battle hardened, and still supports E2EE and video calling very well.

I recommend prosody. I recently went through the process of setting up a server and have a draft blog on it half way finished if you want an account of the experience.

+1 for XMPP

I’m also hoping to self-host Prosidy (when I get a spare evening / weekend), so if you could post your notes that would be good.

There are some good notes on the Arch Wiki if that helps

    😆 +1 for reading enough to see that! Thank you!
    
    I’m one of those people that ends up using the vocabulary I once learned to get the most value out of it. Would hate to waste all that. Haha.
