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

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

The question makes more sense in the context of "our friend group is deciding to move to a new communication system" Which should we choose.

We narrowed it down to xmpp, signal and matrix. Signal looked terrible to impossible to self host because the clients might make it hard to choose another server.

Matrix looks good but slow and more like irc ? Also like signal, there's few clients.

Xmpp was just more mature, more diversity of clients. But missing new things like comment retractions, comment reaction, opengraph url previews, combine image+text messages and image albums.
