XMPP Core is a replacement for SMTP. XMPP pubsub is much more than just pubsub, take a look at https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html. There is everything about querying and forwarding, in this XEP and in https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html. There is precedent for posting content and replying inside XMPP's pubsub as documented in https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html; https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html; the same can be used for general discussions
- WorldMaker 6y agoFair points. I wasn't aware of any of these tools, but then like the majority of the world I haven't actively used XMPP in years (which is obviously among its largest cons today).
- rakoo 6y agoMy intent wasn't to diminish your initial comment, just that a protocol is a technical answer to a problem that is more probably a societal one. It takes time and effort to commit to another communication protocol, especially when it's not the core of what you're doing as a project. Maybe what is needed is not just a protocol but proper tools to make it easy to use (and the bar with the simplicity of email is very high)
