Alright nerds, I guess I can announce this:We have a public XMPP server for Kiwis now!
Courtesy of myself and some friends; I guess this is a soft launch while some minor things are tweaked. It is invite only, so any Kiwis can contact me for an invite, and then you can create a few invites for your friends.
Backups and stuff are all set up, and it is all just working well, and I have already run my own server for a few years now... but the lack of options for the average user out there is so frustrating. I am in a position where I have built out the skills to self host, but the reality is that most people can not spend the time working on that skillset and so end up relying on fb messenger or similar.
I have access to datacentre hardware to make it possible, and so if someone else isn't doing it... why not me?
