Family and a few friends, on own server.

It seems to be a good fit for families. Or rather, families are a good fit for any sane, sustainable technology. Long span of time, lots of mutual transparency, plenty of in-group communication inside and outside the chat technology.

No problems characteristic for big-tech (account seizures, hardware platform restrictions). No problems characteristic for free-for-all public servers (spam, vandalism).
