Gave #matrix a try. Installed #synapse, #elementweb, #cinny on my RPi, and #fluffychat on mobile. SNI proxy on a VPS routes traffic to the home server to keep secret keys secret (yep, HTTPS everywhere makes no sense if everyone keeps their secrets in cloud)

No, no, no. This guy was right https://マリウス.com/giving-up-on-element-and-matrixorg/ XMPP is our everything.
