@Andres4NY

Are you running your own family server? Super curious to hear more about this. Especially the why.

@tessala I started running an xmpp server (again, after like a 10 year lapse) because I started using jmp.chat as an alternative to various other voip services (voip.ms and google voice). I've got prosody running on a VPS, with everyone in the family having an account and a Family Chat room.

tessala,

@Andres4NY sounds like your kids are using it when you’re all in the house together, how else do you use it? What does it give you that say, all having iPhones with appleIDs doesn’t?

@tessala My 12yo has a phone w/ a data plan, so he uses it when outside of the house. The 6yo just has a (cheap) tablet w/ wifi, so she's just using it at home. I often use it for messaging my wife as well (with e2ee)

I don't know what appleID supports, so I can't compare.
