Matrix does not work this way.
- therein 3y agoXMPP supports delayed delivery. It works although I have had minor issues with it, especially if OMEMO is enabled. https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0203.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0203.html

- Freie_Messenger 3y ago> Isn't xmpp old style instant messaging? No. XMPP is just as "modern" as Matrix, but has a _different _ data storage/distribution idea. see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36939676 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36939676
- rakoo 3y agoThat was true 20 years ago. For the past 10+ years XMPP has had Stream Resumption that allows you to resume a few stanzas you missed recently (typically with a poor connection), and Message Archive Management that stores everything on the server that you can then retrieve on the client. XMPP has had little place on the public stage, but that doesn't mean it stopped evolving.
