  We’ve been exploring the idea of adding a chat service. But we haven’t yet decided which protocol would provide the most value for most people.

  Right now, we’re considering XMPP and Matrix — both are solid, privacy-respecting options. Our goal is to offer something that lets people communicate with their existing contacts, not start from scratch.

  We’d love your input: what would you actually use? What works best in your daily setup?

    I find XMPP much more useful for day-to-day communication with people I know. Matrix has more IRC like public channels, but only a few are sufficiently active compared to Discord or even IRC.

    But running an XMPP server is also extremely hassle free and uses little server resources, while running a Matrix server is quite involved and will likely need a beefy dedicated server just for it alone.

    Not sure I’d use either, but may I suggest both? Throw stuff at the wall, see what sticks…
