@bjoern You aren't wrong. Matrix can technically can do way more than chat, the big problem is not many develop anything for it more than chat.
Bridging in apub would probably help, but as it stands most of the work being done in the decentralized application sphere is really on apub at the moment.
@seven @bjoern It would be great if some of the #Matrix client app developers realized it was a mistake to write a new messaging protocol from the ground up and start helping out #XMPP client devs with their experiences instead.
XMPP server implementations (multiple) are fast, scalable and have well-maintained codebases. Unlike Matrix.
If they want their apps to have an impact and a chance to really make decentralized messaging more appealing, I think they should.

@stevenroose @seven @bjoern Matrix has a completely different decentralization model, one I think is way more useful than xmpp's "just deliver the message to a few other servers and that's it"
@f0x @seven @bjoern Isn't that exactly what instant messaging is supposed to do? What more do you care than that your contact is receiving your message?
