So now that discord has made a major oopsie, people are now talking about alternatives. However I do not see people mention XMPP a lot (Compared to Matrix, which gets mentioned a lot).

So I was wondering if we all could brainstorm & share:

  • what features Discord has that XMPP currently does not
  • & whether those “features” are being worked on
  • & if so then; useful links can be provided.

Also let’s keep this post as active as possible to track development, if you are interested.

    Space/“server”-specific permissions and permission hierarchies (users creating spaces and being able to assign moderators within them)

      This is indeed currently missing and will take some work to implement. You can work around it with RTBL and moderation bots though.
