I can’t use them because I can’t convince anybody to switch with me. I talk to most people on discord and I’d rather move to using Matrix, but I can’t convince any of my friends or family or anyone I know to use anything else.

    I use XMPP whenever possible. Requires many fewer resources to run on just about any hardware & I can hand out accounts if needed.

    I don’t care for the centralized or de facto centralized alternatives. I regret along with my uncle convincing family onto Signal several years ago.

      Why do you regret convincing your family to use signal? Is it because you wish you got them to use xmpp instead?
