I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

UwU. The cuteness is a huge plus IMO.

The problem is "cuteness" is very much in the eye of the beholder for things like this, and I'm with neatchee here, it's not cute, and it makes it basically unshareable, and hence unusable in a lot of contexts. I appreciate the effort that's gone into the project, but the name and publicity massively detract from that.

You don’t need to share any server technology names, just that it’s the Matrix protocol or “platform”, or even just “Element” if they are using that app. I don’t tell other matrix users they are on a Synapse server.

Only the host needs to know about the server app name, and is the only one who interacts with it directly.

Considering that it's a fork of conduwuit, continuwuity is a pretty fitting name, UwU 😺
