Ask HN: Matrix vs. XMPP vs. IRCv3
Which do you think is most promising? What are issues that face federated messaging protocols adoption?
- stephenr 9y agoXMPP is more than promising, its proven. The major messaging (and notification, if you believe the rumours) networks are all based on xmpp. The issues are basically: big vendors want lock-in so they disable federation and spam. I remember seeing an XEP that aimed to solve the spam issue for federated xmpp.
- xstartup 9y agoXMPP - Didn't use it in a long time. OTR wasn't a good experience. Matrix - Works well, but UX is too techy for my non technical friends. IRCv3 - never tried. Currently, I am using Tox P2P, so far it's working best. I am looking for a web client because native clients don't provide me Telegram like feel. So, if I find some time, I'll be writing my own web front end. I am also looking to hire people to work on my Tox web p2p frontend.
