Thanks for mentioning XMPP. I never ran a server, but as a user I've been enjoying it. Also has its problems - for example, I picked some server to create my first account, and the other day the server disappeared for 6 hours. What do normal users (i.e. non-newbies like me) do in practice in these situations?
That said, I would love to hear your experience running an XMPP server. Do you still run it?
Trusting your chat activity and availability to any XMPP server on the internet that allows free public registration is not ideal. If you want reliability then pay for it or use what you perceive as a highly credible free server. I do not run any public facing XMPP services so I do not have any input on that and as with Matrix I wouldn't roll your own unless you know exactly what you're doing due to inherit risks associated with these platforms in certain states of configuration or exposure.
