All those points apply to XMPP too, and it's way easier to set up Prosody on a server. Are there any specific reasons why you think Matrix is the next IRC and not XMPP?
- scrollaway 5y agoXmpp has had decades to try and hasn’t succeeded. It’s riddled with issues that make it unworkable. The question isn’t “If this can work with Matrix why not XMPP?”, the question is “Will Matrix have the same issues as XMPP?”
- zaik 5y agoWhat's your definition of success? Google and Facebook federating?
- scrollaway 5y agoFederating is one goal but is useless without mainstream adoption. Success is adoption. Enough users to break the network effect. Signal is currently a good example of roughly the amount of users you need to start breaking the effect. So that's what success looks like. A very low bar version of it.
- erinnh 5y agoSpeaking for just me, I thought that XMPP was already dead.
