What's wrong with plain old XMPP, imap with IDLE or even IRC with logging?
This stuff is a solved problem and the only thing that makes it complicated is that everyone want's to run the entire client on their iPhone, which is built by a company who refuses to cooperate with everyone.
- paulryanrogers 8y agoXEP fragments the protocol and XMPP wasn't designed with mobile in mind. IRC is not trivial to configure and use with the features people expect today: images, video, server-side searching, etc.
- jplayer01 8y agoOne of the best things about Matrix is its encryption and focus on security while supporting modern features users want. Not sure why anybody anywhere should have to settle for garbage like XMPP. Hell, this is one of the purposes of Riot or Matrix existing. Providing an open source implementation and design as a basis to build whatever an organisation or person needs. I'm not sure I see the problem.
