  • Xmpp definitely wins in privacy. What is there to privacy more than message content and metadata? Matrix definitely fails the second one, and is E2E still an issue for public groups? I don’t remember if they fixed that.

    XMPP being a protocol built for extensibility means it will be hard for it not to keep up with times.

    On your point of picking one or the other, I’d say pick the one you like and bridges will help you connect to the other. But XMPP came way before matrix, and I believe they fractured the community instead of building it.

    There’s a good reason all the big techs built on top of xmpp (meta, Google, etc). It’s a very good protocol and satisfies modern demands very well.
