Hi! I don't want to start 'religious wars'; we are plenty of them. I am a Matrix and XMPP supporter. I have a question that many people ask me: what are the substantial differences between the two systems? People ask which would be the better solution. The XMPP apps do not handle voice messages, and it seems to me.

Matrix is more slack like while most xmpp mobile apps take the whatsapp approach.
-
Martin
What do you mean by it doesn't handle voice messages? They are just done by http-upload and most clients support that. Most clients also have the recording included.

nicola: which one do not support it?

nicola
I am sorry. I am in the Apple ecosystem and probably there aren’t efficient solutions

Sam: Y R U trolling Matthew of Matrix? :)
-
Sam
I'm not, I'm explaining why it's not a good replacement for freenode
-
Sam
I don't know who Matthew is
-
eta
Sam: matrix corp CEO
-
Sam
Gotcha. Figures he'd show up and make nonsense claims like that then
-
Sam
I'll assume the not disclosing who he is is in good faith and he just didn't think about it, but it would have been nice to know

Sam: Arathorn So you've just walked up into a trap? Funny he won't dispell the FUD of "minority" in the actual company. As usual. 32M users, they might need another round of $5mil from VCs to keep those servers alive. No Slack killer in sight yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sam
oh well, too late to rephrase for him now

32M became "300K DAU" later in the thread, even at 30% reporting that's just 1M DAU, so where did the 32M come from?
-
Licaon_Kter
MattJ: DAU is real users?
-
MattJ
Daily active users, so supposedly yes :)
-
Licaon_Kter
Federation?
-
Licaon_Kter
Why 30%?
-
MattJ
Assuming 32M is total registered accounts, it means that out of 32M registered accounts only 1M (3%) are actively used at most (trusting the 30% phone home estimate)
-
MattJ
The stats are based on Synapse (the Matrix server implementation) reporting home with stats about active users. He's saying they reckon that is only enabled on 30% of deployments
-
MattJ
Lots of inaccurate guesswork. I suspect the 32M number comes from registrations with their identity server (which is a central node on the network), and the only other number they can confidently claim is that at least 300K accounts are used daily.

Well, what ever we see in the numbers. They at least get capital in and also have much better communication and advertisement (if think thats good or not) I try my best to get better stuff for xmpp in general. but I cannot compete with an agency of people

And also, I wouldnt wonder if they one day overtake us, if they not have already
