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.


Message moderation
Experimental
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0425.html
The XSF follows the IETF naming convention where “experimental” means it hasn’t been in production use for a decade pretty much 🤷
The message moderation XEP is widely supported by XMPP clients since a few years already and works fine. Nothing “experimental” about it anymore.
