Modern XMPP project discussion - 2024-11-23

Can anyone tell me who operates https://providers.xmpp.net/ and how reliable is the information on this website?

leke: some of the information is gathered automatically, some is manually gathered (and may get outdated occasionally). As far as reliability, I think you can generally trust the facts presented there.

What's not ideal is the way the servers are rated and ranked

Those rankings are primarily aimed at client developers, not users

And it doesn't take everything into account. So some servers are at the top of the list which I would never recommend, and some good reputable servers receive a terrible rating ✏

leke: I can tell you from experience, an A rated provider was blocked by another service (and their mucs), because of reputation, for not responding to claims of abuse. I saw no evidence of this abuse, but wasted time finding out the cause of failures to join mucs. These things are not found in the ratings.

Thanks
