Prosody or ejabberd . Those are not resource-intensive, but easy to selfhost and very reliable. You can also have a look at Snikket .
Decentralise communication, take some power of some nasty people and take part in making the world more resilient. :)
Looking at these xmpp servers, ejabberd + a whatsapp bridge seems good to decouple a little bit from the official whatsapp client, thanks for the recommendation!
Oh yes, those transports (https://slidge.im) are very reliable. I've played with Matrix bridges a while ago, but never got to a reliable setup, so I'm very happy with Slidge + ejabberd now.
Don't worry too much about deciding between Prosody and ejabberd, both are great and include a migration tool from the other. I've moved from Prosody to ejabberd, but mostly because I want to know both. :)
