Comment on `continuwuity` vs `tuwunel`: where to go from `conduwuit`?

No better alternatives around though if you want to own your data, have proper multi-client support, and at least the option to federate.

What about XMPP? What can Matrix do, that XMPP cant?

Hm, fair enough, I actually have very little experience with XMPP. (Only through prosody, which I personally am on a war footing with.) From a cursory glance, I also couldn’t find an Android lient I’d really want to use, but of course that is subjective.

In any case: I have a matrix server up and running, and it has been a pain to get friends and family on there; I do not want to do all of that again with a new protocol/clients. As long as it’s sustainable, I want to stay with the same server installation, and that means choosing a conduwuit for me.

  Understandable, trying to move friends and family between platforms is an herculean effort.
  
  For everyone else interested in XMPP, you might want to check out:
