<p dir="ltr">Hey, just to add to the list of options. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Recently GitLab purchased and open sourceed gitter <a href="https://gitter.im">https://gitter.im</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">From the list of features it does look great and is being used by tons of open source projects, mostly in the web development field. </p>
<p dir="ltr">You can self host it but from reading a bit it looks like you need quite a bit of server resources: there were like 3 database servers to install. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Another options would be <a href="https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/conpherence/">https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/conpherence/</a> which is integrated into phabricator. It is only web based for now and it is being used by some of the guys at MediaWiki <a href="https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Using_Conpherence">https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Using_Conpherence</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't feel like these could be the best choices but I am just sending them here because they went unnoticed. </p>

FWIW, I didn't keep up with Matrix to well in recent times, but<br>
I remember having a look at it back when it made its first<br>
splash (the LWN article at all) and at the time I considered<br>
it the most promising-looking IRC replacement attempt yet.<br>
<br>
It had some of the traits of other attempts that failed<br>
before (larger per-message overhead, lots of complicated state<br>
on the server, problems with scaling to really large channels)<br>
but also made a lot of tasteful and practical choices.<br>
<br>
I understand they changed their public focus to portraying<br>
itself as a bridging solution to create any adoption, but at<br>
the core is a good chat system of its own.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Eike<br>
