Matrix vs XMPP vs IRC
(feddit.it)
Not OP, but what I do lack here is a decent server Implementation in a single binary and easy deployment.
Also decent native clients for various platforms. Do we have any good ones?
This probably isn't a xmpp specific, but I'd like to have it work like wireguard. If the keys are wrong, self hosted instance would just reject it on the packet level. Then only authorized clients could use it. Outgoing connection on some hub instance would give access to outside world. All this would help with self hosting.
I remember reading about Snikket (hope I remember the name right) which should address exactly this.
threads and spaces?
As long as you're not trying to have e2e encrypted group chats xmpp works flawlessly.
With that it can have some bugs in my experience.
I've never had issues with e2e encrypted group chats. And I've been using some for years
It depends what mean group chat, if it consists 3-5-10 person, everything work flawless.
Not in my experience. Interesting. Now that I think of it the problems happened a few years ago
I have self-hosted Matrix for a couple of years. I eventually settled with xmpp/ejabberd/conversations. It is easier to maintain and less resource intensive, especially if you want to go the federation route.
I just use linphone with flexisip. I don't understand why SIP dropped out of this chain.
And yes, there are encrypted 1-on-1 or group chats and you can send photos and documents. As a bonus, you can connect a SIP provider to access the telephony line.
