About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

Same experience. I wanted initially to make our own server for our company. So we could chat and communicate. Make public channels for support, etc. It's such a nightmare to host and after days of trying I gave up. They also had bunch of problems when I tried using it. I even forced all of my developers to use it for work. Messages would get delayed, even lost. Signal is what we currently use for chat and it just works.

You could always use Yunohost - it makes things much easier.

Never heard of it. I'll give it a look. Thanks.
