fmstratMatrix to XMPP migration
I’ve been considering setting up matrix or xmpp, can I ask what is motivating you to switch?
Overall I’ve been happy with Matrix (private not federated), but it’s very convoluted. Whenever anything goes wrong it’s really difficult to figure out why, as there is a lot of complexity. And once you set something up, it’s really hard if not impossible to make a change.
For instance, since it’s built for federation, changing the URL is impossible.
So I’d like to try out XMPP since it’s much more lightweight and simple. I may not switch, but want to explore.
PikaI’m in this same boat as well. As someone who ran an XMPP server in the past, then stopped and eventually moved onto Matrix. I have to hard agree, in my experiences, XMPP was so much better administration side than having to deal with matrix, and its quite a bit more fleshed out(not to mention the sheer amount of clients available) Being able to just log into a management panel and have the panel do everything administration wise for me was super nice, instead of having to ask “is this only available via the API or is it available via a client or is this config only”, these types of tools from what I’ve seen don’t really exist for matrix.
