       #Matrix spent a decade turning the problem of worrying about which extensions your server supports into worrying about which room version your server supports.Meanwhile, the #XMPP community got their act together, reached a rough consensus on which extensions are worth pursuing, and now you can install any of the four major servers without having to worry about what extensions are working behind the scenes.

       @daniel I really dislike it if a project points out what other projects are doing wrong instead of focusing on own achievements.That reminds me too much on how political parties are working.

       @daniel What frustrates me the most about #Matrix is that Vector clusterfucked the client situation themselves. Having a de facto default, "go-to" Matrix client with feature parity across all platforms was one of the biggest strengths. Now we have feature split between two official clients. And the one they promote these days is still an unfinished beta. 🤯 It is absolutely mindboggling how you can screw up this bad.#Element #ElementX

       @cryptgoat @daniel imagine the utopia we would live in today, if all the money sunk into matrix to just get it going, would have been given to xmpp-developers and -admins instead 🤔( i gave up on xmpp around 2019/2020, but i'm seriously reevaluating my life-choices right now 🤦😅 )

       @daniel XMPP seems so good in theory. In practice though...

       @november I use #XMPP as my sole chat and call medium, and find it pretty good. (I don’t use centralized/proprietary/unsustainable/NIH services like #WhatsApp, #Telegram, #Discord, #Signal, #Threema, #Matrix, etc)It’s often the case that people with the worst impression of XMPP used it ages ago, and did so with some terrible clients (Pidgin, Thunderbird)…I’ve written a guide that helps new users stick to the best clients and servers of the ecosystem, and avoid the underdeveloped parts. Perhaps it could help you?The Quick and Easy Guide to Jabber/XMPP(Either way, I’d love to hear about recent experiences and pain points in using XMPP. I don’t doubt there’s a lot to be improved.)#contraXMPP
