Screenshot: When compiling a biased list, the importance of unimportant criteria increases. As an example In this biased list, for some unknown reason, a number of fairly well-known and large servers fell into the list of bad servers. Ranking by dubious or unverifiable criteria (privacy and logging) is one of the favorite ways to manipulate opinions.
About
Open directory of public XMPP servers has been created to allow server administrators to provide their servers without preconditions. The only important criteria for adding a site to this directory is that the XMPP server is public and clearly points to this.
It is not our task to divide servers into good and bad and create closed lists for the self-appointed elite. We believe that users should choose the right server for themselves, and not rely on someone else's opinion
XMPP is a federated network and there is contention between servers. Many times we were denied inclusion in the lists of XMPP servers, the owners of which position themselves as "for everyone". The reasons for the refusal were sometimes not given, sometimes they were funny (“your server uses diesel”), and sometimes the owners directly told us that it was necessary to degrade some server characteristics in order to get on the list (“reduce the allowed size of transferred files”, “change the domain to get in the middle of the list","reduce the number of users") or if you do not make a security exception (for server-to-server), slander will be written ("make an encryption exception for the list owner's friend's server"). 404.city excluded several times from the "open" lists, because of attacks by ordinary and political trolls (who wanted to get administrative powers in public chats). The purpose of creating this server directory is to provide users with complete freedom of choice without any manipulation of opinions, and for server administrators a place free from any preconceived opinions and human factors. We refuse any evaluation of sites to be added to the list. The purpose of the directory is to provide freedom of information to visitors, not misinformation bubbles

Darknet Mirror is a mirror in Tor, I2P or other darknet. Using the dark web increases anonymity, but anonymity should not be confused with privacy. Anonymity on the dark web is provided by software that hides the IP address through a chain of proxy servers. Confidentiality (IP address, correspondence, contacts) is protected by privacy laws. Data of users of darknet mirrors are most often is not protected by laws and are regulated only by the internal rules of the server. Most servers do not have Darknet a mirror, since this increases the potential for abuse and often incompatible with privacy laws. If anonymity is very important, then it is definitely best to use darknet mirrors for your interlocutors. If you are look for a server to communicate with friends, relatives, loved ones, and those you know, then you probably won't need darknet
