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.

      Very happy to hear! I’ve looked into Movim before and am quite excited by what they’re doing. I am hoping to see an F-Droid mobile app at some point, I haven’t had much luck with PWAs in the past.

        It is very unlikely that they will make another app that is just a PWA in disguise (they used to have that, but depreciated it). I think you should look into what your PWA issue was, because it usually works great these days.

        But if you are using Android, then https://f-droid.org/packages/de.monocles.chat/ is a pretty good native app with a lot of feature overlap with Movim.
