I want to like matrix, but I had to give up my homeserver. For reasons that are unclear to me I was added to the matrix.org homeserver blacklist, with no communication on why or response to my asking why. Eventually I noticed some issue with the database, it having grown many hundreds of GB (something about my users being stuck in matrix.org rooms that they're blacklisted from, I guess) so I rm -rf'd it and that's that. :\

Could it be that your needs would be covered by XMPP? You can run that on a RPi in a shoebox.

  Probably, yeah, though I'm not familiar with the ecosystem yet. It seems like ejabberd is written in erlang, which is promising.

    > I'm not familiar with the ecosystem yet. It seems like ejabberd is written in erlang I highly recommend ejabberd: it's one of the easiest server software I ever had to sysadmin. It's rock-solid and never gets in your way. It also packs everything you need for modern instant messaging and audio/video calls. Install it, open few firewall ports, define some DNS SRV records, and you are good to go. > which is promising. I mean, ejabberd is what WhatsApp and FB Messenger started from :-)
