XMPP is better despite it’s flaws privacy-wise, since so much data gets “hogged back” to matrix.org (tbf it’s a similar case with lemmy.world but Lemmy at least didn’t receive funding from a company most likely linked to Mosad). Also has more lightweight servers in general.
what data gets hogged back? most stuff can be turned off and are features that would be missing anyway from xmpp, like identity servers or integrations server. also you can selfhost your identity server and add integrations manually
