Sorry, should have been more clear. It's always been my favorite, and adding this buff just pushes it over the top.

Railgun is my fav support weapon. This buff is insane.

What really shocked me is you can one shot Bile Titans now.

To be fair this is true. I have everything except one last ship upgrade.

I think any other suggestion might alienate or make it harder for people to join, and they may come with their own caveats, even Matrix might be too much for some. I was thinking IRC maybe but that is probably too far for most. Discord does seem like the safe option.

Kind of a weird platform choice.

The specific distro doesn't really matter. What matters is package choice (being able to do the few things you listed with the apps you would like to use). I guess if you're among the Debian evangelists you probably value stability more than any other consideration. Just pick some server distro or Debian again.

Setting up an app in docker is the easiest option, even more than just simply installing the binary?

This isn't new. I've been running my personal instance since last year using it.

Big deal, just self host in a VPS if you're willing to pay $$$.

Don't make the mistake though of self hosting (Dendrite) as it will just choke, in my case it was a single user instance subscribed to only a handful of channels but apparently that was too much for my server to load messages in any manner that would be considered quick.

I've self hosted several services at once on there but apparently Matrix is just too heavy too handle compared to other things.

Even if your security oriented it seems many frown upon any self hosting whatsoever.

I got a small team in school to all adopt my self hosted Matrix as a chat solution for a project we were working on throughout the year. It was great. Everyone jumped back to Discord after we graduated though.
