Oh well I don't know about reuniting as it's been ages since XMPP exists and the IM world has never been as fragmented as now.
But for what it is worth at least now we've got user friendly clients (such as Conversations.im and new Gajim) that one can recommended to non technical people.
- beagle3 8y agoIt was about as fragmented in 2000 or so: MSN messenger, AOL Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo messenger, POWwow... I counted 40 at the time. There were also things like Odigo and hyperbix/Gooey which were used for messaging even though their main function was “char on page” Now we have FB, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Google, Google.
