With not very performant servers and not very rich choice of clients, and still work in progress. And notably more fit for group chats rather than anything private and secure.
xmpp sucks balls for this scenario. there are incredible footguns in encrypted xmpp, it wasn’t there from day one and mind you it’s intended for non-nixos users. they have migrated from threema
Maybe.
Or they got the feeling to use a low-effort open protocol, that isn’t xmpp. I mean, they considered open whisper, for example, they would have to invest in a custom client.
With matrix they slap a new sticker on the software and call it a day.
I mean, yeah. But it’s not some national open source project, and that was claimed. Also, i’d like to know how intensely it was audited, because it’s something different from open-source matrix homeserver/element-x (it’s the propertiary part of it)
polish army used it too before this one, but it wasn’t intended for sensitive info
that’s reskinned, siloed matrix instance with maybe minimal changes
German Army does the same. No shame there.
Any ideas why it’s always Matrix? Not even XMPP.
