but the intent was probably the reverse.

It's 4chan. I wouldn't be so sure

XMPP vs everything else in c/technology@lemmy.world

I never really did very much with IRC on a protocol level. I just know that it's ultra simple, and suffers similar problems as xmpp: it's not really meant for multidevices with a shared backlog.

I'm sure there are projects to enhance IRC with proper e2e encryption and chat sync, but you really want something that has modern usage in mind from the ground up. IRC and xmpp are just very 90s.

note: it's now been a couple years since I last took a deeper dive into xmpp and matrix, so things might have changed. But especially for xmpp, I can't really see how without breaking compatibility. The protocol is just very... special in its own way

Impressive that it has the resolution to identify fonts

Eh, only if you squint reaaaaally hard

In practice, you will run in constant compatibility problems. Let alone barely functional multi device support

Granted, it has been a couple years and it could be a bit better, but XMPP is a horrible, horrible protocol to work with. From the ground up.

Matrix might be bloated nowadays, but that's nothing to the horribleness of xmpp.

I'd love to see the correspondence he had with his editor
