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.

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 :)
