People make bridges for XMPP (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33420784 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33420784 ) but bridges are just band-aids anyways: Most important they don't support e2e encryption. If we want to have messenger interoperability we need standardization. Matrix should focus on compliance with the existing XMPP internet standard instead of inventing yet another set of incompatible primitives.
