Once again, it is important to remember that if you want to use Matrix
in a free and privacy friendly way, it is not recommended to use New
Vector clients, such as Riot/Element for example, because some of them
contain non-free code (here Electron) and encourage the use of non-free
/ privacy

I do would like to note that the solution I gave might not be intended
to private conversations. XMPP is *way* better for that, but it's not a
social network, but a chat instead.
I love using XMPP for most of my small groups, but it may not always suit if you
have many topics happening, etc.

Did I mention Element anywhere? Don't put words in my mouth.
Second I never said to host it on Vector Did I? Again adding words in my
mouth.
Third. You can self host which is pretty easy with freedombox. As easy
as XMPP. And also you can set up an account somewhere and then access it
only

As I mentioned before, software freedom is a matter of justice. Just read my
previous email and check the sources on FSF and GNU websites.

You can use R and make R programs which are proprietary. You can have
bash shell and have shell scripts which are proprietary. You can have

There is also matrix which does have communities and rooms. I think its
more accustomed to what you would need than XMPP.
And there are many clients including an emacs one and a terminal one.
