    Do you use features like permissions, channels, threads, bots, … a lot ?

    Application using xmpp as a backend are great and can be all you need if you just want a simple voice/text chat with no additional features.

    There is no equivalent to most “server/community” features of discord in the xmpp protocol, and it is something that needs to be implemented at that level for it to work.

      Seems to me that those are generally enabled by bots and scripting, and I don’t think it’s any harder to do that stuff in XMPP than it is in discord?

      ah we don’t really use those features much. as long as we can hang out and chat as a friend group, we’re good
