But in this case, we have a choice between two FOSS solutions, so whichever choice we make, we're still going to be promoting FOSS. It's not like we're discussing leaving matrix for discord or WhatsApp.

OK. So this is just another XMPP-vs-Matrix debate. Assuming that the holy grail is a distributed, federated drop-in replacement for Whatsapp, then, as I understand it, Matrix is a far more advanced on that path. In any case, just as there are not competing protocols for email, the ultimate solution is clearly one protocol. Everyone jumping ship every 3 months will not get us there.
