    Indeed. People keep warning “it’s just like XMPP!” And thus revealing that they had no idea what the situation with XMPP was like. Google didn’t kill it, it died on its own.

    What’s actually happening is people start from the position “Meta is bad”, then search around until they can find a thing to plug into that as a thing they can say to justify it. Well, maybe Meta is bad, but you’re not going to prove it or adequately defend against them if that’s your approach to figuring it out. You’re just going to Chicken Little yourself.

      XMPP works well and the community is actively developing server and clients. There aren’t any big corporations funding it anymore that’s all. Still the best instant messaging protocol in 2023.
