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 !

      Is your server open to sign ups? If so, I might consider making an account!

        Not yet, and I haven’t started advertising it yet or anything.

      Thanks for this. I’m gonna read up on the ansible deploy. Most likely for a digital ocean droplet.
