    YMMV, but my minimum requirements were:

    1. Federated just like lemmy or mastodon or email, so I can choose a server or even selfhost.

    2. First class clients for Linux available, not only Android/iOS, no Electron bloatware.

    3. No phone number involved.

    That rules out Signal, Whatsapp and some more. Matrix fits. However I prefer #Jabber a.k.a. #XMPP. Matter of taste, I guess 🤷

    PS: “Note to yourself”, incl. file upload, is supported by all servers and most clients, AFAIK.
