I forgot about Iroh! It’s a shame that not many apps use it yet. I heard about it through the Delta Chat blog. I’m going to revisit this. Needs a simple messaging app like Keet tbh.

> Matrix is better than Xmpp because it does encryption well, it does VoIP well and it does group chat well.

I used to think this too, but after using XMPP for myself, I honestly felt lied to. XMPP is more robust, less buggy, more decentralized, and most importantly less bloated. Matrix adding federation (like server sync) is pointless at best and a privacy nightmare at worst.

And a decade later Matrix is still chasing the “emulate discord” vision. I really think it’s just a salary / job security to those people now.
