      Sure, it takes me about 5 minutes plus some waiting for the system to initialise.

      If you pay for the hosting fee I’ll do it for free since it’s so quick and simple.

      It’s literally pasting one command to install a full GUI, open source web admin panel with one-click installations of apps.

      You want Matrix Synapse, Nextcloud Talk, XMPP or mail-based chatting? I can also recommend Jitsi for teleconferences.

      I assume you’re trying to imply in your comment that people are not going to use it if it’s not easy.

      It’s unfortunate, but sometimes, having nice things can be a little hard. If people want to use the easiest thing under the sun, then they’ll just have to accept the downsides that come with it. Sometimes, that means private companies will use private photos of people’s underage children in AI training models that can generate deepfake pornography. What can you do? Convenience comes at a cost sometimes.

      I’m not saying I agree with this of course, but that’s just how things are in the world where all rules must follow the dollar.

              You could pay them for their support. I know it sounds a bit cheeky, but the zulip folks are really great and the product is not one of the open core solutions where they strip out features based on your plan, like some others do.
