Comment on Is (Matrix) Element Server Suite overkill for a dozen users?

  Any hidden nuances that one has to know for Snikket nowadays?

  E.g. with Matrix Synapse, user accounts cannot be deleted via API, DB accumulates hundreds of thousands of records in state_groups_state taking up space, and for client-side, onboarding is a pain

    not that i can think of? i pop over to look at storage space every so often and it doesn’t look like it’s growing very much.

    inviting people is easy, directly from the android app.

    the snikket app itself is pretty straightforward. The only thing I would caution is telling people using the chat service to make sure their encryption button is checked or whatever.

    there are other apps that work with this, the one i use on android is conversations.

    i haven’t had to delete users yet, but that sort of thing is done directly at the home page with admin login.

    I had tried to use the Ansible playbook to get a matrix server up and running and failed for about a week straight before trying out Snicket and was texting with my mom across the country in an hour
