Thank you a lot for such detailed explanation! I finally got a definitive answer to XMPP vs Matrix debate. You definitely convinced me to try XMPP, seems indeed more reliable. In another message, you also mentioned you wrote a guide on Prosody, I actually would love to check it out :)

That was a great video actually. I thought that Zuli was kinda cool, shame it’s a paid service. Not that I mind paying, just quite literally can’t. Funnily enough, they hit the same issue with broken voice calls on mobile Element client

Thanks for reply. Unfortunately, we can’t use it, should be exclusively selfhosted service :( I do like Signal, tho, great app

Let’s just that we all are so fucked, that we’d use anything that works. So that’s not a problem to convince them to switch, we all are ready to switch

That’s definitely possible. But the weirdest thing was the inconsistency of every issue. As an example - voice calls worked on the web client, but didn’t on mobile. Client issue perhaps, tho I tried, like, almost every mainstream mobile client

Thanks, will check it out. If it’s not too bothersome, could you specify why XMPP would be a better choice than other options? The protocol itself, I mean. There’s a lot of contradicting info on each of the protocols. Some say XMPP is ancient, choose matrix. Others say matrix is a complicated mess, choose more mature XMPP
