Has bugs, most notably: messages will be duplicated if several users connect to the same channel. - XMPP: text messages only (private chat and MUCs), no backlog, no avatars, no file transfer. - Mattermost: in quite good shape. Private & group conversations with text messages and attachments (images or other files). Handles retrieving of message backlog, user avatars and room avatars from the server. - Facebook messenger: in quite good shape, handles private messages and groups, text messages, attachments, stickers, profile pictures (low res only), backlog.
