helenslunch, 6 months ago the current internet has seen too much consolidation for the tech majors to permit it While that may or may not be true, it’s really not important for several reasons. All current XMPP clients I have seen are janky as fuck. No one is going to spend the billions of dollars necessary to advertise XMPP clients to end users who aren’t actively looking for them. The vast majority obviously doesn’t care about their privacy. Just seems like a fruitless endeavour.
