alt Hacker NewsThis has been brought up on HN before, and people smarter than me identified that this view is about 10 years out of date. Yes it's a bunch of XEPs, but there are standardized "sets" apparently that include all of the things any other similar tools do. It sounds like only very niche old/minimal XMPP clients don't support encryption by default for example, and virtually all servers have supported it for many years.

If the answer to "it's confusing" is "there are apparently standardised sets", it sounds like it is, indeed, confusing :-).

And unlike Matrix(/Element), it works most of the time.
Is there a recommended or "blessed" server and client combo for someone who just wants to migrate their friends off discord?
The main site https://xmpp.org/software/ lists lots of different options but I have no idea what core/advanced means and comparing all of these would take ages.
