People, very nice, drivers... Massholes are very real, but did you ever notice how they rarely break things? Agressive, yes, but they also learned to drive in a place where the road itself is also an adversary.

    Most of what christians mentally picture their afterlife to be was written by a 14th century Italian mad-lad with a chip on his sholder and an axe to grind with multiple popes. Its all sorta blended together these days.

    Ill give the other abrahamic cults credit for their attenpts at maintaining a faithful translation or opting to not officially do one at all. Makes keeping track of who believes what easier.

    The career path of being an online guild leader to meat space manager.

    I used to manage player orgs in EvE Online... Its basicly a second job and the paralells are real. One of my former space nerds got a job and IIRC is actually a rental car lot manager, we taught him how to use spreadsheets well over 10 years ago so they could figure out how the games industry mechanics.

    Question: What do people in this community recommend for self-hosted instant messanger projects? I host a VOIP service for my nerd herd and due to recent events i'm attempting to migrate out groups chats off of the major platforms (Discord, Google chats, Slack, Etc.) as well.

    There are a few notes that were requested/requirements.

    • Self-hosted
    • Supports images
    • Has a decent mobile app
    • Encrypted communication
    • Expected load ~25 users.

    I am doing my own digging but wanted to hear the communites opinions on some of the projects that came up in searches.

    • IRC/XMPP - dosent really work for the request but is a classic, so I feel had to mention it.
    • Rocket.Chat - seems like the best option so far, but I was having trouble finding current reviews, and its licensing is a bit much.
    • Matrix also is close to checking all the boxes, but it wasnt clear how it works on mobile (Element seemed like the mobile app that was recommended).
    • Revolt was high on the SEO results but most of the discussion around it was about drama with the maintainers (that is what prompted this post, i'm fishing for more current opinions).
    • Zulip seemed similar to Rocket.Chat, but more expensive if we had to get a license.

    I appreciate peoples opinions and recomendations on this topic.
