Nice, I'd like to be friends with you. But do you realize that maybe, just maybe, you are facing a bit of availability bias?

[zaik]

Oh sure, but it's still a counterexample to your statement. I can convince people to use XMPP, and almost nobody is using Matrix if you don't do the convincing.

[rglullis]

But you don't need to do the convincing with Matrix, because of its bridges.

XMPP also has a good set of bridges though.
