The XSF has a fantastic page dedicated to debunking common XMPP myths. Here are a few examples:

• XMPP is XML, so it must be slow
• XMPP isn’t secure
• XMPP doesn’t protect privacy
• XMPP is too verbose
• XMPP is unreliable
• XMPP isn’t suited for the web

Of course, all of these are misconceptions.

You can read the full explanations and clarifications here: xmpp.org/about/myths/

Are there any other XMPP myths you’ve encountered that you’d like to see debunked?

@ejabberd "The XMPP is modular and extensible by design, so it should be deprecated"

Given the feedback on this thread, it seems that XMPP dev and users are a bit tired of those myths and legends !

We should definitely post a follow up !
