I recently started looking into more decentralized instant messengers after being on signal for a year or so. I’m happy with signal but just wanted to look into what else is out there. I really don’t get why XMPP gets left in the dust. I see so much praise for matrix, but every public group ive joined is full of spam bots and racists. Simplex is centralized. Even as far as the fediverse goes, I would’ve assumed everyone here would hype up XMPP since it works similarly with the username@instance.com convention.
There was a time when you could chat with people on facebook and google with XMPP. I think when they dropped it the communities using it got disrupted and probably never recovered.
id use xmpp too if i could find a web based client to use on mobile so that i can also chat when im not home (apps are out bcuz hurr durr parental controls u cant install apps on ur phone…im sooooo waiting until i turn 15 in 2 months…)
No love for XMPP ??
