Comparison of Jabber (XMPP) with Matrix

Why does it call XMPP "Chat Standard"?
From the perspective of private users, WhatsApp is the benchmark
Not entirely, there is also Discord
-
WhatsApp, Signal, & some others use the same open standardization end-to-end encryption. It’s the bare minimum bar for acceptable (but most of these apps require a primary Android/iOS device to hold the key which plays right into that duopoly as well as making smart phones a requirement rather than optional).
Discord has no e2ee, many rooms require phone numbers, the service is proprietary, they have trackers, they send cease & desists to projects wanting to be alternate clients. These are not the hallmarks for privacy or security.

What is an actual popular client that uses xmpp
-
On Android and IOS, i like Snikket.
On desktop, Gajim

Conversations, Cheogram, Dino are the ones I've used.

XMPP is great but the clients are all really bad.
Session is where it's at.
