       @billiam@shitposter.club @luke@videos.lukesmith.xyz @luke @billiam I am vehemently anti-Matrix. My position comes from the experience of running a large homeservers for years and understanding how the protocol works. Regarding XMPP clients, Dino is promising, and Gajim 1.4 will have a new UI more in line with more modern communication programs. Things are looking up ever since Conversations started dragging the XMPP community into this decade.(Pasted from Pleroma reply)

       @selea@video.selea.se That depends on your client. Most clients these days default to omemo if available and fall back to clear text.

       @selea@video.selea.se How is that not “encrypted by default”? Plaintext fallback is perfectly acceptable when an OMEMO session can’t be established.

       @billiam@shitposter.club @luke@videos.lukesmith.xyz @josef@tube.miegl.cz Not when you consider the ridiculous trust requirements of Matrix. Every time a new server participates in a room, you now have to trust all events (metadata and messages/media) to *every* server admin/anyone with database access. Even encrypted rooms have the problem of propagating all metadata to all participating servers. Also, the Matrix devs are liberal/commie/furry/tranny assholes.XMPP multi device has greatly improved with MAM, PEP, and the offline spool. The only issue we have is with mobile clients closing OMEMO sessions when they’re tombstoned.

       @agx@videos.lukesmith.xyz Matrix is inferior to XMPP due to protocol design differences. Matrix replicates all events to every participating server’s database where they are stored forever. XMPP only stores messages if a client requests archiving, and group chats only exist on the originating server. XMPP is basically a message routing protocol, and Matrix is an eventually consistent distributed database.

       @krasix@videos.petch.rocks @yellowarchitect@videos.lukesmith.xyz I regularly give out our ejabberd.yml (sensitive stuff redacted, of course) to help people do just that. The hardest part is all of the DNS entries needed (each component uses its own subdomain), but a nameserver that allows proper wildcard entries makes that somewhat easier. Client-side, Gajim is becoming a single-window application more in line with Slack, Mattermost, Element, etc. So, the clients are coming along. OMEMO works fairly well (still some issues with iOS, due to the way it tombstones apps and cuts off network access), MUC has had many improvements over the years (MAM, PEP, PubSub, Offline spool, etc), and MIX might eventually be finished before we are all dead or too old to care.If anyone would like a copy of our ejabberd.yml to help them set up a server, I can be reached at xmpp:thomas@nobodyhasthe.biz
