Currently, attempts at bringing back XMPP has been horrible. Some instances have different plugins, which often break things. Some have e2ee some don't. XMPP is great but the current attempts are bad. Matrix is good enough for now.
I believe the worst part of XMPP isn't the instances but the lack of a decent cross platform client that actually supports everything and has a decent UI. For eg. iOS clients are all shit. Without decent clients and push notifications people won't be using XMPP ever.
Questionable...
What's wrong with Matrix in your opinion? I found it works fine for chat and group chat. Maybe video and audio calls lack but other than that it works fine.
There are some things such as metadata leakage and the server isn't the best at being lightweight.
I have read that they have improve the metadata leakage. And the server being lightweight is being working on too , on the new version.
Use construct.
Exactly my concerns, also Matrix isn't an open standard, truly standardized. It is way more prone to be taken over by some company or ecosystem later on. For what's worth what is even the Matrix Foundation? Where does the money come from?
The iOS clients have gotten miles better in recent years. It’s still far from perfect, but I’m grateful for the improvements.
What's the best one in your opinion?
Siskin, but it doesn’t do push with omemo perfectly. Monal does that better.
Great, I used Monal a long time ago and it was buggy maybe I'll try it again.
I stopped using monal in favour of Siskin, but I think it’s gotten a lot better recently too. My problem was monal started sending notifications for every message in every chat room at some point so I uninstalled it. I assume this has been resolved.
