xmpp is an open direct messaging protocol, that supports decentralized servers. it can be used as a (non feature complete) alternative to discord or matrix. it was bigger in the past but then google hijacked and killed it :< but its still pretty cool and great!!

if u dont know anything about xmpp yet, this is a good starting point https://xmpp.org/getting-started/

Did you also make that matrix server that was posted on 196 a while ago?

If you don’t mind me asking, how different is XMPP from Matrix?

mm the protocol is better with metadata and privacy.

xmpp sadly doesnt have any great clients, and is missing a lot of comfort features. it got potential tho :33
