Considering Matrix age, and precedents, my bets/hopes are for a new protocol to emerge as a "modern Matrix" (just like Matrix was marketing itself as "modern XMPP").

Matrix just doesn't have a great and smooth UX right now to compete with the main actors, the heavy protocol is to blame so that's not something we can hope to see sorted out quickly/on time.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.
