I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

Respectfully, this software could solve all my problems in life, and I would still struggle to ask my friends to "federate with my continuwuity server so we can chat"
Then call it Matrix. They don't need to know and probably don't care about the specific server software you're using.
Respectfully, you have no idea how Matrix works and I know you don't use it if you think you have to tell people what backend you use for them to connect to you.
Its just called a matrix server, you don't need to tell anyone the specific kind.
You can always change the name on your instance. Agree that there is no reason to use the project name, especially in this case.
