About this server
Short version: quassel.io is a small, privately operated Matrix homeserver run as a hobby. It is not a company and not a product. The notes below are here so you can decide whether to trust it with your account.
Who runs it
Me, Hannes Thöne, a private person from Warburg, Germany. I like running servers, and Matrix works best with lots of small homeservers instead of a few big ones. My full contact details are in the Impressum.
How it's funded
I pay for it myself. There are no ads, no tracking, no paid tier, and I don't ask for donations. It runs on a dedicated server, and what that costs is fine for me as a hobby.
How young it is
quassel.io went online on 24 April 2026, so there is no long track record yet. If you'd rather wait a while, that's fair. If you don't mind being early, welcome.
Backups
Once a day to a Hetzner Storage Box in Germany.
Updates
I update Synapse regularly and keep it close to the latest stable release.
