Briar is a messaging app designed to be used by groups of people to allow for secure and censorship resistant communications.
This technically isn’t self hosted in the strictest sense but I think it is still relevant.
Seems pretty similar to Jami except that it lacks the iOS and desktop clients that Jami already has.

This project runs on Tor. You are effectively hosting a Tor site.

Not at all. You’re effectively using a messenger that can only receive messages when your phone has an internet connection because briar doesn’t have servers. Also the connections are made through the Tor network, which hides metadata

Briar does not require an internet connection. It can send messages over Bluetooth and WiFi.

To be fair, that’s true for most messengers, even ones that do have servers.

Sort of I guess
Why does it matter?
