not_IObig list of selfhosted chat apps to meet all your friends on a real "server"
unexposedhazardIm confused by this list. It includes the matrix server implementations synapse and continuwuity, but not matrix itself or any of its clients. The only matrix client that could reasonably replace discord is element but its not even there.
Matrix itself isn’t a thing, Matrix is a spec/protocol. Synapse and continuwuity are implementations of the server, with synapse being the “reference implementation.” Client apps like Element (the reference client) would be good to have there, but I’m not sure selfho.st will want to list clients because there is quite a few.
