eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol exists, and Signal being centralized it's its main flaw

@prologic servers? Many exist, even written in Golang. The problem resides with the clients, or lack thereof.
This is why I just ended up running my own isolated Matrix server, Synapse, with Element on iOS. Havenβt had any issues for the past yearβ¦ touch wood haha!
@ullarah so, your friends and family connect to your Synapse server? How did you accomplish such feat?
@fastidious that part was actually easy, don't have friends! No just kidding, it was quite a lot of convincing on my part. A lot of friends and family still use other platforms however in the beginning I told them this is how to get in contact with me online apart from email.
Eventually after many months it sort of converged into using my matrix instance with 4 rooms and 11 members including myself. So not a big server, just enough for our needs.
Only complaint that I get is about lack of stickers haha!
Yeah I can't run Matrix myself or get into it for similar reasons around all things ActivityPub -- It's _trying_ to be all things to everyone and doing too much IHMO. Plus there's no way I'm running something written in Python with tonnes of dependencies, been down that path once before π

@fastidious I looked at Dendrite once and I will not use it because:
Dendrite requires:
> A PostgreSQL database engine, which will perform better than SQLite with many users and/or larger rooms

@prologic They all suck, anyway. More or less this is what I recommend: Gajim (GUI) Profanity (CLI) blabber.im (Android)
@novaburst Well first I wanna see how hard it is to spin up Prosody server. Then I'll worry about what client to use -- I'm on iOS so I'd need a decent iOS client π
