Sadly for me, it’s also the only modern messenger that has decent desktop clients that don’t look like discord. But I guess that this will never change as I seem to be pretty lonely with my want of those.
- dijit 6y agoThe solution was nearly always to create golden packages which could be summarised. XMPP v1 server could be just XMPP itself. A v2 client/server includes packages for OMEMO, Websocket, Resumeable connections A v3 client/server has packages for whatever else becomes the de jour. The idea that you can just mix and match without ever standardising on a set of capabilities was a large part of what killed XMPP and was entirely solvable.
