Do you prefer XMPP or Matrix, or are you using something else entirely?

I haven't found a solid answer for this...does XMPP support proper history nowadays? I remember using XMPP servers back around 2012 and if you didn't have your client open, you just missed messages in rooms. If that's still the case, it's a pretty significant draw back...

    It does for me, but I'm not sure whether it does in a general way, or if that's because of some extension on the server I'm running.

    I can send a message to my mates, or vice versa, and if we're not online those will be delivered to us next time we connect. It's been perfectly seamless.

    However they have complained about multi-device support, where they want to log in sometimes from a phone and sometimes from a desktop. Apparently that is a less polished experience.
