  Second this. My friend group has been using my Matrix server for years.

  How would you compare setting up your own Matrix server vs an XMPP server?

  I was going to recommend XMPP to OP, and I don’t have any experience with setting up Matrix.

    AFAIK, xmpp is easier to maintain and requires less resources.

    I have no skin in either game, so I couldn’t give you an honest answer here. I only suggested matrix because I believe it would fit the scenario

  I would love to see the success rate of getting the parents of the child’s friend to set up a matrix client for their child’s one friend that doesn’t use anything they do.

  Help your child embrace not needing to be constantly in communication with her friends, to (gasp) use the phone …. or accept and monitor the evil empires’ offerings but no matter what you do, don’t for one second think you’ll get a single family to set up a matrix client for “that one kid”.

  Hell even the default one is better than everything else out there besides signal and xmpp

  Anyone ever use FluffyChat? That seems based on Matrix and cute like it’d be kid friendly. I’ll look more into matrix in general! TY
