Ask HN: User- and privacy-friendly selfhosted alternatives to Matrix?
5 by leona408 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Dear HN, We are a small community server, providing infrastructure for a handful of local projects in our town. We are looking for a messenger platform/protocol that - can be selfhosted - doesn't violate users privacy - enforces E2EE - has a UX userfriendly enough for non-tech users - offers groups w/ +100 members - if possible, offers "modern" featuers (chat-history, VoIP, typing indicators, etc.) Matrix is being disussed, but we have serious privacy-concerns. [1] XMPP is being discussed, but people are afraid that the jungle of clients wont talk together.[2] What are your experience with on-boarding non-tech people to modern XMPP-cliens? Is it doable or too much of a struggle? --- [1] "Notes on privacy and data collection of Matrix.org" https://ift.tt/fr9EFiK [2] https://ift.tt/HmSx20h [EDIT: Typos and formating]
