Not everyone can or should self-host, but there is a lot of middle ground between self-hosting and putting everything on #AWS.
Federated protocols like #XMPP, #ActivityPub, and #SMTP give you choice.
#Conversations_im is doing pretty extensive DNS caching. If you set the TTL of your DNS records relatively high (86400 seconds for example) Conversations can avoid some round trips during connect. Another round trip can be avoided if you prioritize the _xmpps-client SRV entry. This can significantly improve the performance in rough networking environments.
In good networks we can establish a full connection in under 500ms.
I agree with "go for whatever makes you feel good", BUT would hope, that you feel best by helping with one of the existing clients instead of starting yet another one.
The problem with #Jabber clients is not lack of them, but that most are incomplete. E.g. #ConverseJS and #Gajim lack A/V calls, #Dino lacks adhoc commands and an official Windows build, etc.
Writing a good chat client is a HUGE endeavour. Better join a friendly team than work alone.

But Daniel, you might ask, won't the criminals just use Conversations then? Yes, they already do. And thank you for realizing why chat control is stupid.
EU Chat Control won't apply to the federated Jabber/XMPP ecosystem.
#Conversations_im is used by various militaries, police forces and intelligence agencies in Europe. They will make sure it won't get any client side scanning.
Testing GNU Taler at #Datenspuren was fun. And by fun I mean mostly unspectacular. It just worked. I scanned a QR code. I got some Kolle Mate.
I think some sort of GNU Taler integration into #Conversations_im would be pretty cool.
If you would like to integrate Taler into Conversations there are currently funding opportunities available¹ from @nlnet and both the Taler developer as well as myself are happy to help with scoping.

A closed laptop with 3 stickers sticked on: on the left a Conversations stocker, in the middle a XMPP sticker and on the right an OMEMO sticker
No idea where the idea comes from, that #Jabber would have less problems with #spam than other federated communication systems 🤷
There are some tools in place, e.g. #RTBL and #messageModeration, which are great. But that's not sufficient.
We need new gate keeping schemes for large group chats. Open group chats are prone to spam, closing them puts too much acceptance work load on #MUC admins. I'm not yet sure, how a "semi-open" solution could look like.
More ideas:
1. Use the #RFC7259 "Jabber-ID" header in your email.
2. Link your #Jabber contact in your #fediverse profile! (You already do that, but others might not.)
3. Put your #JID in your #vcard:
IMPP;PREF=1;TYPE=home:xmpp:me@domain.org
4. Have Jabber stickers on your laptop, your bicycle, your front door… 🙂
5. Wear an #XMPP hoodie as often as weather and social norms allow.

The JoinJabber Mediation Circle has gotten reports about unsafe communities in some of the apps listed on our website, we are going to contact application developers and server operators over the next few weeks to make sure we are on the same page around safety in our communities.
We take all reports we get seriously and they stay completely confidential.
We will release more information after the feedback has been gathered and we have had some internal deliberation over this.
The #Conversations_im release that was rejected yesterday is now live on the Google Play beta channel.
A late addition to the 2.19.0-beta release is message moderation for public channels, giving moderators the ability to delete spam messages.
