I have telegram because it was really easy to set up a bot and a bash script to send messages to it-basically my own little notifications app. But it’s also the only thing I use telegram for. What’s a good alternative? Free and open source preferred. Self hosting as well

@mez Matrix account is even easier to get (no phone number needed) and just as easy to write a bot - I'm just writing a bash script doing a little magic that my client app failed to do. And it can be completely self-hosted, including the push notification server (gotify or ntfy)

@chebra Does this mean hosting an entire Matrix setup? I’ve been curious if something like Matrix would work, but don’t understand the system well enough.
