What's your preference for a text chat server (e.g. IRC/XMPP/Matrix/Zulip/etc.)? (lemm.ee)

There seem to be plentiful options for text chat servers, so I'm curious for those that self-host their own, what their preferences & experiences have been with them.

Also those mentioned in the title were just a few examples, if you run something else, e.g. Revolt or Mattermost or something else less popular, would be interested in reading about it!

How much does a vps cost running your matrix client? It can't be more than a couple bucks a month right?

I pay around 10€ per month. The VPS has more services than.just Synapse. Mastodon, Database, Immich, Nextcloud, gotify.... And a few more 😁

I use the VPS 2000 from NetCup

I figured given that I'm on c/selfhosted that it probably wasn't only synapse just was curious about overhead.

I've got a little raid 5 8tb server under my desk that I just use locally to fuck around with/VPN back into my house/store larger backups on.

I'd never want to be using it to host anything like a website or service, so I'm always curious what the web hosters have and pay.
