why do you use xmpp instead of matrix? (lemmy.ml)

I see the matrix is more popular than xmpp, but why?

Well. I do it the other way. I would not install effing whatsapp just to reach someone. I tell then once where to find me, and, if they want to know, why this is and why i prefer it and why i wouldn't install app X. If they don't, then bad luck for me. Or not.

I'm the same way. I say they can use Signal, or just SMS. Or just wait until we see each other again, if ever.

Aye. SMS still exists. And for those boomers with their facebook and WhatsApp, it's not even a new thing ☺️

Added bonus: those who do install "your" app, show a minimum in interest. You're even worth the "effort".
