Ah FFS. It's sad to see that XMPP has come to this. We had the promise of an open Internet and it's being consciously destroyed by the big players, one platform at a time. (By which I mean Google, Facebook, Atlassian, Slack, etc.; all of those companies who have chosen to put a nail in the coffin of the open Internet). Oh well, guess I won't be doing online chat any more. I wonder whether the children even believed the last generation of Roman Britons when they spoke of writing, under floor heating, goods from half a world away...
