Comment on What's the best chat to self host?
Why not “only”?
Because at least when you use their private routing feature messages go: sender -> custom sender’s server -> custom receiver’s server -> receiver
So unless sender and receiver are configured to use servers under your control, their will be at least one foreign server involved.
To be fair I’m not sure how that works, when you don’t use their private routing feature.

Oh yeah sorry I thought that both ends configured custom self hosted servers. But yeah in the “normal” case the self hosted server is “only” contributing to the network
