redpill me on xmpp
xtra miniature pp
I don't have any friends on XMPP.
Would be nice to use if I had friends.
It's neither private nor secure, but it's a decentralized protocol which is nice. But so is email, and we all know how decentralized that turned out to be.

>>107875444matrix is more like email in that there's only one server everyone really uses (like gmail) because of matrix.org
>>107876703it shouldn't be like that, but it will be, because of Element
if you are going to self host a chat server, it is xmpp.
