It’s basically XMPP with a clear packaging, from server to client

I never heard of it. Is it’s decentralised setup it’s unique feature that makes it different from Signal? How uses this messenger and with whom for what?
Edit: This is not meant to sound harsh, I’m curious

I haven’t really either, just from browsing their website it seems like a federated service you can either host yourself or join someone else’s, and then use their app (or a fork) to invite the people you specifically want to talk to.
I don’t know much about XMPP, but that is what it’s based on.

XMPP is what Matrix was meant to be, but 15 years too early

I’ve been using it for more than a year to communicate with my family and a very small group of friends. The video and audio call features are good and I’ve replaced phone calls and Signal/WhatsApp with it. Because it’s XMPP, there are many clients you can use, not just the Snikket app. Overall, I recommend it because of the End2End Encryption features and self-hostable (if that’s a term)
