Note, that #Jabber became better for large groups in recent years. It was horrible five or ten years ago, but IIRC, e.g. the developers of #Prosody @prosodyim and #Ejabberd @ejabberd optimized something about (not) sending presence or whatever.
Moderation is still not very advanced, but #XMPP made a bit of progress: There are "XEP-0425: Moderated Message Retraction" and https://xmppbl.org/
Better than nothing.
My graphana dashboard so far. Currently I focus on spam. Needs more work, ultimately I want to be able to understand which measures yield the best effect.
Metrics aren‘t exactly a strength of ejabberd, but I‘m working on it. Hope to improve things little bit at least.
Any developers willing to port/adapt/rewrite #ejabberd api component of #Quicksy server to work with #prosody #xmpp server?
Basically we want to create xmpp accounts via a server component after verifying phone number with sms otp.
Currently it is possible to do this on ejabberd, but adding prosody support will make it easy to add phone number verification to prosody as well. Adding phone number verification or an invite to create account will help stop #spam accounts by a huge margin.

Any admins of #xmpp servers with open sign ups and running #ejabberd here on #fedi ? At #Prav, we are exploring potential collaboration with xmpp public providers to give choice of providers to prav users. Since Prav needs a subscrption, we'd like people trying Prav to have some xmpp provider if they are unable to pay. Another option would be to find sponsors to give gratis accounts in Prav itself.
I now have a website I can deploy with make html it's just like the good old days. 
Shamelessly riding on the back of the hard yards I've been observing @quixoticgeek doing to come to this conclusion: https://cetaceanneeded.com/the-search-for-a-website-building-tool.html
I didn't actually intend to be doing this... it is a spontaneous side-project of the project of replacing Mattermost with eJabberd ... I decided I wanted to write a post documenting some hurdles in that, but couldn't face dealing with the old WordPress blog.
So, inspired by the post above, I deployed "Pelican" this evening. Which, all in all, went pretty smoothly.
First post: https://yvan.seth.id.au/posts/can-a-pelican.html
It isn't in any way integrated into an cohesive whole with the piecemeal mess I call a website at the moment. (And this isn't a huge priority right now.)
Now we'll see if I can keep up the motivation to document the #eJabberd setup.
I promised myself an early night to be lively for the allotment tomorrow, and I see it is 03:12. Ooopsies.

Kewl? Where do I get functional XMPP gateways to #WhatsApp and #Matrix (and no purple-matrix doesn’t count, it doesn’t work)? What is the technology good for when nobody I care about is there?
(hint: I spent many years helping #XMPP technology up to studying #Erlang to make #Ejabberd to work with Kerberos before I gave up)
Follow up:
Does it make sense to factor in whether a server is running ejabberd or prosody? What are the user-facing advantages or disadvantages?
(I can see a long list of XEPs but I have no idea which of those XEPs are actually used by anyone, so that isn't really helpful in deciding.)

RE: https://transfem.social/notes/a3c2szato0we009m
Our script to allow ejabberd to authenticate users directly from a Mastodon-compatible database has been updated.
https://git.chinwag.org/chinwag/ejabberd-auth-mastodon
There is no functional change in this version, but it now uses a configuration file, the location of which can be specified via a command line option. This will make future changes and upgrades much easier.
See the README on the project page for more details!
@fionafokus The involvement of VC was always one of the (many) reasons the #XMPP user community has been wary of #Matrix.
XMPP is still around, improving all the time, and backed by communities and non-VC-funded companies.
#ejabberd is freedom-respecting software, and scalable enough for WhatsApp, League of Legends, and Nintendo Switch Push Notifications - dare I say even "nation-scale".
The two most common XMPP servers to install on Linux are ejabberd, written in Erlang, and Prosody which is written in Lua.
