What @arikgrahl says! I also run my own Matrix server and smile every time I get to chat with one of my (very few) Matrix-native contacts there. For everyone else, bridges to Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram provide access. While I still need to rely on these networks for now, this setup has the wonderful advantage of not having to check multiple apps several times a day—instead, thanks to my own server, I have all my instant messaging in one convenient interface. #DigitalIndependenceDay
