Hey, all.

Is it possible to skip this ‘register your server’ step when creating a self-hosted Rocketchat instance? I just don’t want to, ya know? Regular websearching is just giving a lot about how to disable user registration rather than skipping the server registration with Rocketchat HQ.

      I started toying with mattermost as well and then saw in the logs things going to “matteranalytics” or something like that… Shouldn’t be too surprised, but seemed ironic since I looked it up to avoid the similar thing with rocket

        These all have Venture Capital funding, so they need analytics to convince new buyers in the next funding round. Which is why is remains complex to opt out in Element/Matrix despite long being a user complaint.

        This is BTW also why the user numbers of Matrix are so artificially inflated, it is basically an investor scam.

        Only IRC and XMPP do not do this, as there is no financial incentive for it.
