Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it's a start that we're at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)

Matrix servers are relatively easy to self host. You can also use one of the many open servers or the main Matrix one. It doesn't matter, it's all encrypted and federated.

For mail, you can check out Delta Chat. Uses your already existing mail address for encrypted instant messaging.

It kind of does matter though...Maybe not a ton to those just chatting in them, but if you're relying on someone else's hosting, it's only as good as long as it's hosted (and as good as its admins/mods). Part of the reason I'd be a little more interested in sorting out hosting for smaller scale chat stuff myself, as of the many things you could self-host, it's up there as one that makes more sense to me.

Also just checked out Delta.chat, and that's pretty sick! Thanks!
