Looking for recommendations on security and privacy focused clients and homeservers for Matrix.

  • [deleted]

I think I will settle down on SchildiChat for the client.

I have set up Synapse and use both Element and Schildichat. Schildichat doesn't depend on Google Play services whereas most versions of Element do.

Setting up Synapse might give you some headache, especially if you want federation, according to how comfortable you are with tech.

I don't have the hardware to set this up.

Eirikr70 No, I'm just looking for recommendations on which homeserver to use.

    I use matrix.org atm because I don't know which other homeserver to trust... It's not ideal tho, any recommendations for a reputable homeserver are welcome 🤗

      evalda Same. A lot of people just use Element with matrix.org which just kills the decentralized aspect of Matrix.

      I can open a server for you but I won't open it to the federation (so you would be able to join only the people who have an account on my server).

        Eirikr70 Is there a way to host my own homeserver but not on my own hardware?

        Yes, you can rent a virtual private server at hosting companies such as OVHCloud in Europe.

        [deleted] There are countless projects that offer a server.
        Here are a few examples
        Nitro.chat
        nope.chat
        ggc-project.de
        I myself offer an instant under roleplay.chat
