why do you use xmpp instead of matrix? (lemmy.ml)

I see the matrix is more popular than xmpp, but why?

I believe the learning curve to have an XMPP server up and running is lower than a Matrix server, and from what I can see, a Matrix server won't run as well in a potato.

This is true if you run Synapse, the matrix server written in python.

There is also Dendrite, written in Go, and Conduit, written in Rust. They run better but are behind in terms of implementing the spec.
