    I’d never heard of it.

    Sounds great. But really, what’s the difference betwee XMPP and matrix? It sounds like they do the same things.

      Yes, they do the same thing in that they implement a chat system. XMPP has been around for decades, and uses XML at the application layer for its service whereas Matrix uses HTTP and has only been around for the last few years - there are other differences in that matrix implements a ‘distributed git-like group chat system’.

        But why does the world need both?

        Is there an XMPP alternative to Element, and is it potentially a better choice?

        I assumed that XMPP is obsolete or abandonned, so Matrix is the new attempt to make internet messaging work.

          Why does the world need different operating systems? Because different people have different ways of doing things.

          Is there an XMPP alternative to Element, and is it potentially a better choice?

          Yes, I personally feel that XMPP clients generally perform better than Element - whether or not it’s better for you is up to you to decide after trying it out for yourself.

          XMPP is absolutely not abandoned, pretty much every server implementation (ejabberd/prosody/openfire) has made a release this year, and the clients see regular releases.

          Have you considered that Matrix just did their own thing cause they could and they just didn’t like how XMPP was run?

    Any one aware when the calls, video calls, are meant to get into a released version of dino? So far, no luck it seems…
