Do you prefer XMPP or Matrix powered apps as a discord alternative? (lemmy.fedioasis.cc)

signal is similar, the moment your friend loses their signal enc key and try to login again they will lose their chat history (same as matrix)

it's a limitation due to the nature of E2EE

in my case while I care for E2EE, it is not enough to trust signal servers with my metadata and its the same for matrix. XMPP looks like a good balance between owning the server, controlling how to federate and choosing what to encrypt
