Voted #prosody by @prosodyim. Make sure to stay with the default backend, i.e. filestore, because it's stable and battle-tested.

I assume, that #ejabbberd by @ejabberd can also work with 4 GiB RAM. In that case, I recommend the PostgreSQL backend, not Mnesia.

Never tried to run a Matrix server. I only use it from #Jabber via the #slidge gateway.

@M_E_ST @david_chisnall

Yes, #Jabber/#XMPP does that, too. You can have bridges to Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram and many other silos. Just like Matrix. In both cases, you need an account on the respective walled garden to use it. I.e. you still need to sacrifice a phone number and maybe a goat.

The slidge blog - The Slidge family is growing

Me, today: Uses only one IM, #Jabber/#XMPP, but with bridges to IRC, SMS, and Matrix 🙂 No need for multi-protocol clients.

Ich benutze #Jabber seit 2008. Enfangs mit ejabberd, seit einiger Zeit aber mit prosody, weil man damit eher einen Transport zu zB Whatsapp hinbekommen hat.
Ich habe seit Sommer auch #slidge und bin recht begeistert: WA, Signal, Matrix und Telegram laufen im XMPP mit.

More from #snikket / #xmpp exploration

Just had an audio and video call working with a family member, which is more than I ever managed with #matrix / #elementx

The final piece of the puzzle is integrating #slidge so that I can keep in contact with the rest of the family from one app, and then it's decommissioning time...
