XMPP ranks well on his metrics, and at least to a layperson like me, it seems to be less complex and more performant than Matrix.

- needz 6y agoI really hope the rust implementation of Matrix helps. I reboot my Matrix container daily because if I don't it'll quickly eat through the 12GB of memory I've allocated it. I run a 3 person instance.
- Arathorn 6y ago12GB of RAM sounds like something is badly wrong; a typical small server should use a few GB at most. Most likely is that either your users have joined loads of big rooms, or some malformed broken room, and the IO can’t keep up with all the traffic it’s seeing so things are stacking up in RAM. Please come to #synapse:matrix.org so we can help debug it.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoXmpp doesn't do server-based scroll back iirc. And other mod cons.
- MattJ100 6y agoActually it does. XMPP does a pretty good job at keeping up with "mod cons", but people often assume it has stayed the same since 2006. I'm working on https://snikket.org/ https://snikket.org/ partly to try and fix this perception. All Snikket software (server and apps) uses modern XMPP, are open-source and designed for easy self-hosting.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoThanks, I wasn't aware of that indeed. I think it's because XMPP software is not as good at keeping up with developments in general. Great idea to keep it active with your own development!
- rakoo 6y agoYes, XMPP software is active and keeping up, even leading development; you just have to follow them
