@openess@skrivel.se I've used XMPP for several years and have some sympathy for it. In the meantime, I'm using Matrix also several years. The switch to Matrix had for example this reasons: XMPP was good, if all contacts using it on Android. For this is the app conversations very good. XMPP on iOS or Mac was too buggy. Maybe Monal is now better. A showstopper for me was the lack of usability even on my own systems (mobile and Desktop). While Conversations has a backup function, so it's possible to transfer to another Phone. But synchronizing with a Desktop is not possible or unsatisfactory especially when it comes to old encrypted messages. Thats an imported point for me: With Matrix I can synchronize lots of various Apps on mobile, Desktop or another devices. It's not limited like it's the case with Signal and not dependent from a single Phone like it is with Signal. Every App can be the master to connect a new device or app. Yes, this can also be a security flaw, if I don't monitor all connected devices or Apps.... So I've always a backup on desktop or another device, if my Phone was trowing in the ... Other good points on Matrix are, editing of messages after send, threads, pinned messages, simple Markdown, user verification and Desktop Apps with a smoother interface.
