Is anybody self hosting Beeper bridges?

I'm still wary of privacy concerns, as they basically just have you log into every other service through their app (which as I understand is always going on in the closed source part of Beeper's product).

The linked GitHub README also states that the benefit of hosting their bridge setup is basically "hosting Matrix hard" which I don't necessarily believe.

Agreed! I'm pretty psyched about their transparency and the overall model. Especially in the universe where this Apple lawsuit results in Beeper being allowed to connect to iMessage again.

Would love to hear any results you find with hosting! I'll give it a try too and maybe do a follow on post with what I learn.
