Ah sorry for the notification spam. I did indeed edit a few times to make the message more clear.
I think my info on Matrix is pretty up to date. Yes message "pruning" in Matrix was indeed improved a bit in recent years, but the fundamental difference in system-architecture remains.
I can't say that I am not biased in favor of XMPP of course, but I think my original message is pretty neutral and based on facts. From a security/privacy perspective not replicating data at all is always better, even when additional safety precautions like e2ee (that do exists in Matrix) mitigate the impact to some extend.
No worries - I just wanted to let you know that the notifications were occurring. They probably shouldn't and I will be checking on Lemmy issues about it. (Just filed #1925)
Heh, I used to be biased in favour of XMPP until I did the full switch. ;-)
