Due to Apple pulling ADP from uk consumers I think it would be fitting for us to discuss and suggest alternatives that our uk members could use and switch to.

The barrier to entry to get Self Hosted Matrix working is unfortunately pretty high. Matrix is a great tool, but getting it working requires advanced skills and (in my limited experience) hours of troubleshooting.
That being said, I’m associated with an organization that wants to help activist groups self host matrix. If you know a group with need, check out https://rmfuni.org.
I got Conduit working relatively easily. However, it had constant issues with encryption in groups. I never even considered Synapse because it’s too heavy for my minimal, cheap VPS.
Self-hosted XMPP is much easier tho, and it “just works”.
