So I’m going to be wierd one but I prefer Matrix more. Though I tried both. So with XMPP most often I had with custom ports setup and in some cases they did not worker well if you have reverse proxy in front of it so in my case it required tinkering with xmpp and ssl setup to get it right. As resource usage I agree it’s lightweight. Now moving to Matrix I used to be long time Synapse user then I moved to ESS setup it had higher first time setup but once you get running it’s working wery well. The new MAS system improved user onboard now I can share link and registration token and user can register like on many websites no manual work need. Also they added new admin panel but there is one pain here some things are locked behind Pro with I’m not fan off. So ye for me Matrix is much better but it depends on your hardware and target number of people.

Right now it looks like you trying to expose your i2p console via i2p I would not do it. If you need remote access I would use tailscale this is how I have my setup.

Biggest issue is that people do not understand encryption. Even Matrix has same issue and they try to add hidden encryption. Though ye e2e will make web more secure. BTW great blog post was nice to read.
