Self host it. Their hosted version has KYC requirements, same as Zoom etc. The self-hosted version has none of that.

What's with the KYC anyway? Who put that requirement?

Communication platforms are going to be abused by organised crime, pedofiles and all kinds of unsavoury people. KYC rules mean that if a platform finds that kind of content, they can report it to the appropriate authorities.

I dont know whether its by a law, or something else, but even if you self host its a good idea to know who your users are and what they are doing.
