Hi :) what do you guys and gals think about using Rocket.Chat self-hosted as a private messenger? Is this a bad idea or would it be ok?

It would be ok, but a bit lonely, no?

Better look into Snikket.

I never heard of Snikket so it should be even more lonely. The best advice I can give is to just use Signal. Imo it's good enough.

It's just an easy to setup XMPP server, so you get full federation out of the box.

snikket looks really nice. i tried ejabberd but failed setting it up 🙈🙈🙈 but snikket looks promising.

Prosody is very easy to set up. Snikket is just Prosody with things added on.

i know Signal and use it with a few friends but i am always on the adventure of trying out new ways of communication and that is why i was wandering if Rocket.Chat could be a good privacy messaging option :)
