I used it a while ago.

It was pretty good for a community group chat.

Not ideal for direct messaging from memory.

Simplex is better for direct messaging & calls.

Thanks nostr:npub1jmy8weweqzckna0amz7pn0uhhkxx693l7st23829ewmu43yvjsesfp6xcq I was thinking for a community it may be ok but not direct messaging

Self-hosting matrix isn't too horrible if you have a domain name to be able to link everything through. It is NOT good over tor.

I may need to do a little more homework to figure it out

StartOS makes it easy to start a synapse server, but, it's set up out of the box for tor use, which is painful.

It may be better to run a docker or container.

I was playing with the start 9

Synapse server today…… it hurt my head
