@xgranade A great example of this is DeltaChat being essentially ideal at replacing the "group chat with friends" part of the equation, while being delightfully straightforward to self-host and demanding almost no resources.

It doesn't fit the "big public rooms" part just as neatly, like IRC ou Discord would, however, and I think that's ok.

I'm at the point in my life where I don't really need "decentralized" I just need federated with a hearty dose of data sovereignty. If that happens to come from a handful of good things, I'm ok with that.

@wez Yeah, multiple frameworks are like this. Tells you all about the cool features, but you have no idea wtf it is for until you find the examples and then go `OH it's a task queue` or whatever.
