I suppose they have arguments about the protocol being more energy efficient. They will need to convince the dev of Fluffy Chat to port the protocol for me to switch over.

It's generally more hasslefree and much faster, and it is easy to connect xmpp accounts with Lemmy or Piefed and thus be reachable under the same federated address.

If anyone is interested in adding a linked XMPP server to their instance, I am willing to help with advise. Just PM me or contact me on XMPP with the same username as here.

Do admins of XMPP rooms have to update their groups separately from the homeserver?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not exactly sure what you mean, but if you are referring to Matrix like room versions then that entire concept doesn't exist in XMPP (which prevents a lot of problems).

That sounds nice, so do all the rooms get updated alongside the homeserver?

Well, "yes". But there isn't really such a thing as updating a room. In xmpp, rooms follow a standard and communicate additional optional capabilities to clients.

XMPP not being E2EE exclusive because of it's age is not the greatest but I'm assuming that modern extensions have fixed that.

Most apps enable it by default and display a warning when it is disabled, which is by far preferrable over enforcing it.
