minus-square@cbarrick@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglish51•10 months agoI really hope the industry settles on Matrix as the standard chat protocol. SMS and MMS suck. RCS sucks less, but it’s still inherently tied to your SIM. Matrix is what instant messaging should be. But I’d settle for XMPP…
minus-squareDerinAlinkEnglish19•10 months agoIf we settle for XMPP, then we’ll be stuck with situations like: “Hey, I sent you XYZ, did you get it?” “Nah, my server doesn’t implement that protocol” etc. Matrix works so well, wish we could just settle on that and be done with it.

I understood some of those words! Lol.

I think XMPP would be better.
