Matrix is bloated, eating VPS resources and it's tied to Israeli Intel. Xmpp is better than bloated matrix. Besides I don't trust matrix very much. Most of users use main matrix instance and don't bother to spread the servers to avoid centralization
You realize IRC servers can read all of your messages, right? If you're trying to hide from Israeli intel, that's not how you do it.
I am using Matrix because Noah in his Podcast Ask Noah Show really like to talk about it.
