The Instances That Prefer XMPP Over Matrix For Decentralized Private Chatting (infosec.pub)

I suppose they have arguments about the protocol being more energy efficient. They will need to convince the dev of Fluffy Chat to port the protocol for me to switch over.

My main issue with XMPP at this time is there isn't a client I like. The one I see most recommended is one that looks almost exactly like element IMO. I would want something that looks similar to Mattermost/Cinny/Slack, but as far as I can tell it does not exist. I'd love to use XMPP, but the projects I follow are mostly on Matrix (and discord :/) and there isn't an appealing client for me, so I really can't justify using it.

Which XMPP client looks like Element?

I think https://prose.org/ is quite Slack like, but it is still missing some features since it is quite new.

Gajim

Prose looks really cool, I'm going to have to try it out. It never came up when I was looking a few weeks back :P

I find that it looks more like Discord, but sure, Element also copied a lot of stuff from Discord.

I honestly feel like if you swapped the Gajim and the Element screenshot I wouldn't even notice. Discord's layout is a bit different even if not by enough that some people wouldn't realize it

Switch Gajim to dark mode and close that thread view in Discord and it looks almost the same.

But yes there is a lot of UI copying, but Discord is clearly the main inspiration for both.
