    Don’t spread FUD about XMPP, please 🙂. It works wonder, it’s in fact everything I’ve ever wanted for personal/family chats and large IRC-like chatrooms. It also happens to be one of the easiest things I ever had to self-host thanks to how wonderful and batteries included ejabberd is. I have developed several clients and bots/intefrations in several languages thanks to how versatile it is.

    Fun fact, it has a PubSub component which is (IMO) technically superior to the fediverse more lightweight and more flexible.

    If one thing, the great XMPP rediscovery is overdue if you ask me 😉
