Same things & more:
- modern chat solution with features people have com to expect from WhatsApp
- many bridges that have kept me from having to use more than one chat client for multiple protocols (think pidgin)
- many great messengers have discovered XMPP as a great base for their system
- lots of great communities are on XMPP
- realistic participant counts in public chat rooms - no counting dead (former) members
- pretty good video & voice chat
- open source
- selfhosting possible
- fewer concerns about data protection and privacy
- more resource efficient (less memory required, lower CPU utilization)
And:
- The use is possible and allowed everywhere where e-mail is in use.
- DoItToMe81 3y agoWhat are your favorite clients? My issue with XMPP is that many clients lack modern conveniences, and it's not easy to get people on board for that reason.
- MattJ100 3y agoWhich modern conveniences do you find are lacking, out of curiosity?
- whou 3y ago- modern, clean and pretty UI - simple encryption support. should be able to set it up with a couple clicks and don't have to worry about it - seamless synchronization between devices - quick push notifications that don't require me to have something cluttering up my notification bar forever these are just some of the points I could think about at the top of my head. the majority of clients have one or a couple of them, but there's no client to my knowledge which has all of them. I have yet to find one that doesn't have awkward push notifications. like come on, do you really think I want an ugly notification turned on at all times watching for messages? edit: formatting
