    Most important to me: Which of them is easier to self-host?

    I’ve been running a Mumble server for my friends for over a decade now and I’d like… something more without having to get too technical. Mumble is literally just a single apt-get and you’re basically done, so that’s about the level of technical expertise that I bring to the table. I’ve tentatively looked into other solutions over the years but I always feel my attention drifting when the setup-tutorial covers multiple pages and starts with manually configuring some database or certificate authority or whatever. Sorry, I didn’t mean for this to get too ranty.

      I settled on XMPP for general chat. Very easy to set up, doesn’t eat much resources. I did think about trying Matrix, but I am afraid it would eat up too much resources, especially disk space.

      Matrix was a real bear, but it was more difficult to get federation working than to get the server itself functional. In addition, there are a couple areas where you must make a choice correctly the first time.

      I’ve never tried to host Revolt but I’m guessing it shouldn’t be any harder.
