why do you use xmpp instead of matrix? (lemmy.ml)

I see the matrix is more popular than xmpp, but why?

This is the right answer - you go where the people are.

I keep in touch with friends and family on WhatsApp, do gaming stuff on Discord and most of the Lemmy/Fediverse chat is on Matrix (partly helped by some degree of Matrix integration to provide secure messaging). I am in XMPP but no-one else I know is, so it just sits there unloved.
