Jumping from one proprietary system to another isn't really an improvement.

At least you have control over your data and you and your friends can blame you for server crashes lol.

I didn't realize it was possible to host your own backend locally... I thought it was just hosting the webUI locally.

Yep, you can host it all yourself. Both UI and the server. Not sure how backwards compatible the "public" client is - I remember Rocket.chat Android client breaking by not updating the server on at least 2 occasions over the past 2 years.
