Yep, it’s more like assisted living for autistic people though

It’s faster and it’s not Synapse. I could serve hundreds of people on a single Pi while I would need to order a VPS with 4GB RAM to serve the same amount of people. I know there’s better server software out there, but it’s nowhere near Synapse. XMPP simply doesn’t care, clients and servers are well built and almost every client uses OMEMO and honestly I had a lot of decryption errors on Matrix and if you used something else than matrix.org you’d be screwed. It’s simply just better, because it’s faster and has a bigger ecosystem. The only thing that’s not cool about XMPP is that the federated userbase is kinda small. The biggest non-federated XMPP server is WhatsApp and that’s kinda sad. Also the protocol is nice, because most clients keep a socket open to listen for new messages and this is especially nice in the college WiFi environment some of my friends are in where a timer is set after bedtime which would wait until all sockets are closed which doesn’t include XMPP so messaging with my friends after bedtime is still possible.

Idk I just wanna finger my server

The irony lies within the fact that the blackouts don’t really harm Reddit as much as anyone likes to believe. As Rossmann already pointed out that protesting for a few days doesn’t do anything to the platform. Overloading the site and making investing into Reddit look bad and scaring off investors would hurt /u/spez. For him we’re just noise and mods are dolls that can be easily replaced with Reddit admins. It’s such a mess right now and I wish /u/spez a cakeday in his arse.
