What do you recommend to use while taking into account chat control? I was thinking about self-hosting XMPP. I’d love to hear your advice

Personally a fan of XMPP, it’s about the only decentralized alternative to Signal that’s worked well and reliably “out of the box” for me. SimpleX is really nice in principle, but my messages end up stuck in limbo sometimes and it burns through my phone’s battery.
Haven’t used Briar much, was missing a couple features I wanted.
Briar uses much more battery than everything else I’ve tried (which includes SimpleX but not XMPP).
The Briar client is missing simple features on Android and essential features on desktop (you can’t copy messages for example). It’s a nice protocol though.
