Thank you a lot for such detailed explanation! I finally got a definitive answer to XMPP vs Matrix debate. You definitely convinced me to try XMPP, seems indeed more reliable. In another message, you also mentioned you wrote a guide on Prosody, I actually would love to check it out :)

Thanks for reply. Unfortunately, we can’t use it, should be exclusively selfhosted service :( I do like Signal, tho, great app

Let’s just that we all are so fucked, that we’d use anything that works. So that’s not a problem to convince them to switch, we all are ready to switch

Thanks, will check it out. If it’s not too bothersome, could you specify why XMPP would be a better choice than other options? The protocol itself, I mean. There’s a lot of contradicting info on each of the protocols. Some say XMPP is ancient, choose matrix. Others say matrix is a complicated mess, choose more mature XMPP
