I heard that XMPP is better for privacy and security over Matrix because of the issues outlined in this article. So I wanted to ask why does Lemmy choose to run a Matrix server over a XMPP server?

    It’s easy to create an account on Matrix (without PII) vs hosting your own XMPP server. Ease of use is important too.
