I used to run an XMPP server (Prosody). I now run a Matrix server (Synapse - the one everyone uses). Synapse feels like a bloated monster that I'm afraid to touch in case it goes bang and I can't recover. Prosody felt like a simple light weight service that I could easily recover no matter how much I broke it.
