There are other teams than corporate IT teams. There are other non technical groups that would greatly benefit from e2e groups like Signal has, that would love the added luxury of self hosting/non centralised hosting.
I can easily envisage different groups wanting these things.
Some do not want the 'historical' chats to be kept, & server side search is not really relevant in those cases. Of course, some will.
If we think of more than tech teams, it's easy to see these features as being vitally important. So while bugtracking, CI, bots, etc, etc is important for you and I, there are groups and communities where such things would be met with bafflement as to their purpose.
- aidenn0 5y agoWe are on HN so I used bug tracking and CI as examples of things people want a history of. NNTP is another example that was not limited to technical topics. If you really need e2e chats, then xmpp and matrix can self host. I do think this is niche though. Every client logs history, so compromising one client completely defeats e2e.
