I am searching for a selfhosted and secure (end to end encryption) chat platform for my family (5-20 users), possibly one i can host on a raspi.

Is matrix a good choice, or should i try something else?

    Matrix is slow on large instances, but that’s not the case here, especially if no federation is done.

    And the issue with sluggishness is currently the main development focus with ElementX/matrixX that will become mainstream matrix soon. With that even the large instances are extremely fast.

      Matrix is slow everywhere. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Element X is also super slow. Waiting 5-10 secs for messages to appear every time I open the app. I know what I’m talking about.

            Thanks for confirming that you’re full of shit.

            Because there are very very few Sliding Synch (which is the part of X that makes it faster) instances at the moment and only one that has a major userbase…

              Why would I lie about this?

              I tried the sliding sync servers as well. Those were included in “all of them”.
