@strypey @praveen @snikket_im Hi,

only regret, took me about 15 years to know about #xmpp.
only 2, to get know about #matrix.

If i would had to choose now, I would take #xmpp, forever... far of being the best :
-#encrypted comm with #omemo protocol
-#various clients, #software or #applications, on several #platforms/#OS (#mobile, #computer)*
-can handle #voice/#video communicaton (#jingle protocol)
-#uncentralized and #federated
-far more #lightweight than #matrix.

it's a bit the cousin of sip for telephony over ip... but matrix just get the big part of cake with millions ;)
I saw in serveral months several disadvantages of matrix, going to become the "#nerds's #whatsapp" as #discord is, somewhat..

on my own, for people I know well : either XMPP, or SIP. If not, emails, phone and SMS..

*I strongly recommend #dino-im for computers (and #postmarketos - it manages #jingle), #monal/#quicksy for #iOS, #conversations/#quicksy for #android (#fdroid)
