I know little about this, since I find XMPP to be superior and easier to
host ([1][2][3]), specially because all the main features are already
provided with packages from the main repositories of free/libre distros
(including Debian with only "main" component, if you want to go with
that route), besides the fact that so much stuff still goes through
matrix.org.

I hope that these clients don't require Push Notification user agents to
be installed.

I know it might be off, but to give an example from XMPP and applying it
to other protocols, theorically, one could provide a Push Notifications
service using some server-side software ([4]), but practically no user
agent allows you to use a graphical interface to manually specify to
which server/service you want to connect to, and those which do, still
assume you want to use Google's.

Replicant cannot include most Push Notification user agents since their
assumed use of Google services together with Google's proven history of
unlimited abuse of the Android-based features ([5]), is a combination
which results in spyware or malware ([6]). The same applies to a popular
so-called "replacement" to Google's services.
