xmpp is an open direct messaging protocol, that supports decentralized servers. it can be used as a (non feature complete) alternative to discord or matrix. it was bigger in the past but then google hijacked and killed it :< but its still pretty cool and great!!

if u dont know anything about xmpp yet, this is a good starting point https://xmpp.org/getting-started/

Did you also make that matrix server that was posted on 196 a while ago?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

no.. maybe? if it had the same name, then yes! i abandoned it tho, because matrix is cringe technology and xmpp is my new best friend now!!

If you don't mind me asking, how different is XMPP from Matrix?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

mm the protocol is better with metadata and privacy.

xmpp sadly doesnt have any great clients, and is missing a lot of comfort features. it got potential tho :33
