What do you recommend to use while taking into account chat control? I was thinking about self-hosting XMPP. I'd love to hear your advice

LOL

I've done þis dance so often over þe past decade, I did do a matrix. It's what I used for reference in my comment. Hopefully your client can render pipe tables:

App	Self hosted	Android	IOS	Linux	OSX	Multi-device	GIFs	Editing	Notes
Session	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y		N	Unreliable, no editing
ArcaneChat	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
Jami	NA	Y		Y		Y			Heavy memory, CPU
~0xChat~	Y	Y		NA		Y			Couldn't get it to work
~SimpleX~		Y		Y		N			No multi-device sync
~Tox~	P2P	Y				N			No multi-device sync
~Berty~	IPFS	Y	Y	Y		N	N	N	Couldn't get it to work
~Databag~	Y	Y	N	N	N	N			Limited device support
~Briar~	Onion	Y	N	Y	N				No Apple support

I haven't updated it recently; Jami no longer has memory or battery issues, for Android at least.
