I want to setup a matrix instance to help increase friends and family’s privacy. Is there much value in creating my own instance?

I’m a beginner to linux and coding, but am good at following the steps on a video tutorial.

Alternatively i could get everyone to sign up on a preexisting instance + download the element app.

Thanks for sharing your opinions !

    However snikket has some shady funding.

    Hmm, where did you get that impression? They are funded by the EU Commission / NLnet.

    And besides… Snikket is made by one of the main Prosody developers, so it would be the same funding ;)

    But if you got your Prosody server to work fine, no need for Snikket at all :)
