Why no mentioning of XMPP (other then Jitsi, which sort of is XMPP)? It is at least as good if not better then Matrix.
the decentralized nature of XMPP is a huge plus for me.
I guess Matrix also has that, in theory, but from what I have seen the matrix.org homeserver still effectively functions as a central point to track metadata.
I guess the issue with XMPP is that people can send unencrypted messages to you, perhaps with deanonymizing information?
