I think at this point it's worth thinking about why we need text chats and voice/video calls integrated with each other like what #XMPP (try to), #Matrix, and #Discord do
Why not just go back to #IRC or something like #AIM for text, and something like #Skype for calls like the old days :sagume_think:
File exchange in #XMPP nowadays is either HTTP upload (covered by #OMEMO) or #jingle file transfer, which should be e2e encrypted, too, but I'm not sure about it.

@frankie Sorry, but this is just not true. Setting up #xmpp ecosystem is quite elaborated task, especially when you mean #jingle calls (I wonder if whoever ever managed to get them working).
You are right, that setting up a modern #XMPP server has some "funny" aspects: You need the right DNS entries, you want to have an HTTP server, and there is #TURN for #Jingle.
But I didn't understand the post by @frankie in the way, they were promoting selfhosting.
For most "non-geek" people I suggest (for #Jabber as for email or fediverse/Mastodon) to select a trustworthy server. E.g. a local internet club, a cooperative or a small company. There are many free and paid options.
