    That’s a quite balanced comparison.

    Using Matrix clients with XMPP could be interesting, if Ejabberd adds the Matrix client API.

    The recently added Matrix bridge in Ejabberd still needs a lot of work though before it is usable.

      The benifits of open protocols is that there’s an infinite possibilities of interoperability. In like 5 years time all of this should be solid as a rock. Kudos to the developers.

      It would be great to have servers that support both protocols, i prefer XMPP because of speed but some say matrix is safer.
